Good day everyone.

I have few items I have collected over the years but they are all scattered around in my place. I feel the need to gather them and make one altar but have been struggling to just choose a spot, it's been months really, it feels 
Almost a joke at this point.

I wonder what should I consider, besides "it feels right, works for me" sort of thing
Things I keep thinking, wondering
- I have kids, I'd like them to have access if they feel drawn to it, 
- I share bedroom with partner and baby, does it matter if I put it there? Next tou work desk
- If I decide int he living room cos I want to access when others are sleeping and in case of having ppl visiting, should I hide it?

Can you please share, What helped you decide where to place your main altar?

I have statues, candles, cards, jewellery, fam deceased pics and objects.. I like to do stretches, yoga meditation, prepare cleasing, prayers, read,

Part of my Yule altar setup

Duke Dantalion altar

Hekate Altar- winter set up

New eclectic witch here (not new to spirituality and having a spiritual practice, but still new to witchcraft) - my practice is very very centered around nature and my life is devoted to nature as my teacher, companion, and source so this is very representative of that. I’m also a mushroom forager and mycology nerd, hence all the fungus stuff. It’s a work in progress, I’d like to get a green altar cloth and have more green (green is my color) but it’s a good start. 

In the center I have offerings to the elements, aligned with their directions on the compass - leaves from the giant redwood tree in my backyard to represent Earth facing North, feathers to represent Air facing East, red flowers and matches to represent Fire facing South, and shells + water from my fountain to represent Water facing West. The key represents Spirit, it’s a very important guiding talisman to me. The sunflowers and recorder flute are in offering to Apollo, who I’ve been connecting with, and my guitar above also serves as an offering to him. My jewelry bowls and boxes share a space with my altar items out of necessity, but self decoration is a deeply important part of my practice so it feels right. 

I don’t have room for all my objects on my altar, so my shelves serve as a less practical and more display-focused secondary altar. I don’t do any rituals *on* them, that’s what my practical altar is for, but they are very much displayed in devotion to nature and represent my path as well as being useful storage, haha

My first altar! Very much a work in progress, details below

Elemental Altar (Air, Fire, Water, Earth, Spirit)

Unique Goddess Frigg statue carved from Moose antler came to life

Cleverly disguised as one of those cute first aid boxes. It's not complete but it is a good start. I made a spell jar for confidence and emotional regulation, I've got some talismans and crystals, a few keys, and a very very tiny jar for a necklace I'm trying to make with itty bitty crystals. Next is to put in the necessities of spell making and some matches!

Just out of curiosity, it seems to be very mixed and was wondering considering all the different types I saw here.
