Every CD has a story, a concert you’ll never forget, a summer anthem that played on repeat, or the first album you ever saved up for.
With a wall display like this, you get to see those memories every day. The circular shape adds rhythm to the room, almost like a vinyl record spinning endlessly on the wall.
Each slot cradles a piece of your past, but the overall design feels crisp and modern.
Imagine pulling one out on a lazy Sunday, sliding it into an old player, and letting nostalgia fill the room.
Materials Needed
- 1 or 2 circular CD wall racks (approx. 30-36” diameter each)
- 100-150 CDs with cases
- Wall anchors and screws
- Measuring tape and level
- Drill and screwdriver
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Choose a prominent wall with good visibility, like above a radiator or sofa. This project doubles as art, so placement matters.
Step 2: Measure and mark where the circular racks will go, making sure they’re level and evenly spaced if you’re hanging two.
Step 3: Drill holes and install heavy-duty wall anchors that can handle the combined weight of the rack and your CDs.
Step 4: Mount the racks securely with screws. Then test their stability before adding CDs.
Step 5: Begin sliding in your CD cases, arranging by genre, color, or even mood. The circular design makes every arrangement look intentional.
Step 6: Step back and enjoy, a functional music library that doubles as statement decor.
Tips:
For a fun twist, you can alternate between CDs and small framed photos in the slots, mixing memories of music with snapshots of life.
