We’ve just shared some cool ideas to rock wall baskets, and today I’d like to share some more cool wall décor ideas, and these are plates. Decorative plates have even more potential than baskets because they are usually painted and you can create different combos with them. They can be arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically, on one wall or on two coming from one to another, and if you think that plates can fit only a kitchen or a dining room, you are mistaken. Decorative plates can be a nice idea for almost any space, let’s have a look.
How to Hang Plates on the Wall
First of all you’ll need plenty of decorative plates, plate hangers, and nails or wall hooks. Alternatively you could use Velcro strips.
Arrange the plates on the floor to decide on a layout. Use a piece of paper or painter’s tape on the wall to mark where each plate will go.
Attach the plate hangers to the plates. Use a level to ensure each plate is straight, then install wall hooks and hang the plates.
Kitchens And Dining Spaces
Plates are very traditional for kitchens and dining space for a certain reason – these are plates. You can rock mismatching vintage or floral ones over the dining area or on a kitchen wall. Different colorful plates will make a statement on a neutral or dark wall for sure, colors can match the kitchen color scheme or mismatch. If you want a modern take on a plate wall, trim the plates very clearly and take them in matching colors, it will be a great decoration!

DIY Plate Customizing Ideas
Customizing plates is not only fun but also a great way to add a personal touch to your home. By designing plates that show your personality, interests, and memories, you create unique pieces that tell your story. Such plates are great to remember special events or show your DIY art skills. Here are some ideas to get creative:
Paint Your Plates
Buy plain white plates and paint them with your favorite designs using ceramic or glass paint. This allows you to match them to your home décor.
Decoupage
Use decoupage glue to attach pretty paper or fabric to your plate. You can use floral patterns, geometric shapes, or even photos to create a one-of-a-kind design.
Stencil Art
Use stencils to create patterns on your plates. Choose designs that fit your style, such as floral, abstract, or themed patterns, and paint over the stencil for a clean, professional look.
Mosaic Plates
Break old or unused tiles into small pieces and glue them onto the plates to create a mosaic design. This is a great way to recycle materials and create something beautiful and unique.
Hand Lettering
Use porcelain markers to write inspiring quotes, names, or phrases on your plates. This can be a great conversation starter.
Nature Prints
Press leaves, flowers, or other natural items into clay plates before firing, or use paint to create prints on existing plates. This brings a bit of the outdoors inside.
Chalkboard Paint
Paint the center of your plates with chalkboard paint. You can then write messages or draw pictures with chalk and change them whenever you like. This is especially fun for kids.
Photo Transfer
Use a photo transfer medium to apply photographs onto your plates. This can be a wonderful way to display family memories or favorite images as part of your home décor.
By trying these ideas, you can create unique and stylish wall decorations that match your taste and make your home look great.
