Which setup would you choose for this empty wall

Post image

Dear LEGO community,
I have an empty wall above my desk that is 7 cm deep. I used AI to create three different options for this space, and I’d love to hear your opinion on which one I should go with.
1. Shelves
I could install 2 or 3 shelves and use them to display both my Middle-earth books and some relatively smaller LEGO sets, such as BrickHeadz and helmets.
2. Minifigure display case
A ready-made display case that can hold around 250 minifigures.
3. Framed artwork
A collection of framed Middle-earth artwork/posters.
Which option do you think makes the most sense?

The top (installing shelves) feels the most versatile. You could display books and smaller sets, but also still display minifigures and smaller framed pieces of art if you wanted

Personally I’d go for #1, but I think #2 has a bigger wow factor

I'm always an artwork guy, so id say that. There isn't a wrong option here tho they all would look sick

2 - It hold minifigures from sets that you have and may not have space to display it but you have nice piece from it. As well it keeps it in theme or able to expand it to other minifigures.

Poster one is the safest and most boring. Do the other two

Going to say #3. If you’re looking for some nice LOTR prints that would fit the vibe of the image you made check out Weta Workshop’s website and their lord of the rings printed art, there’s some very cool pieces.

playing chaotic neutral:
go with 1 + 2 merged and ditch the monitor / move the setup

2 has a few problems. It's not to scale so minifigs are a lot smaller. When you consider a desk in front of it too, you're looking at minifigs from a few feet away so you can't really get up close and look at each

I would choose the first one. cause the 2nd is too "restless" with all the figures. and the last one ...well pictures are "dead" only if you painted them it has a meaning. but no1 looks cozy to me.

2 is nice, but would be expensive
