By now, you've probably heard that interiors are going analog this year. People want homes that disconnect them from the digital world and that instead encourage hobbies. Maybe that's led you to invest in a record player? Maybe, like me, you're currently building your vinyl repertoire? Well, the good news is vinyl collecting makes for easy curation — that is, if you have good vinyl styling techniques.

This concept of 'vinyl styling' is more than just finding clever ways to organize your vinyl records; it's about appreciating every aspect of analog listening, including the cover art. "People want their homes to reflect who they are, right now," says Victoria Robinson, trend and product expert at Hillarys. Vinyl taps into that perfectly because it's nostalgic, it's tactile, and it has a warmth that a streaming playlist will never have — and the sleeve design alone is something to marvel at.
