b) Display cabinets:
Cabinets can be effectively used for showcasing your interests. It is often assumed that cabinets and shelves are used for storing books only. Of course, if you are passionate about reading you can use the cabinet for storing your collection. But other than storing books you can display your photos and pictures. You can put your awards and other recognitions you may have received for your hobby.
c) Posters or pictures on the wall:
Pictures and wall displays are one of the most creative ways of showcasing your hobbies. If you like painting, you can display your artwork on the wall. If you are passionate about sports you can put posters of your favorite sports star on the walls. If you are creative then you can even make your posters at home and display them on the wall. This is a great way to remind you of your interest and your passion.
Additional ways of showcasing your hobby

Additionally, consider organizing your event to display your hobby. You can start at a very small scale by organizing an event at your home or at your backyard.
