Plate walls are simple to make and cost next to nothing - they are also no longer limited to kitchen or living room walls...
But I don't have any plates!
Find them at yard sales, thrift shops, or online.
I don't know where to start!
To coordinate plates with your room, pick a color from your room's decor - your rug or curtain fabric, and go from there. Or, you might want to contrast plates with your wall color. Check out this collection of wall displays and be inspired!

ReplyDeleteI love plates, it's sort of a problem... Thanks for the inspiration.I just got and idea for hanging plates on my fence!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the hanging idea with the 6000 and paper clips. I have two boxes of collected plates and thought I would have to invest a large amount for hangers.....I have waited more than 3 years to hang my plates when I finished redoing my kitchen...I also truly love all of the wonderful ideas you have posted....thanks....
ReplyDeleteDoes E6000 work for outdoor installations? Heat, cold, rain, snow?
ReplyDeleteI have lots of old silver trays as my mother and grandmother were cateress. I don't use them that much love the memories they hold. I love the idea of using them as wall art. I especially like the idea for the overlaid circle of trays. Going to do that really soon.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and very unique collection of plate displays. Love love it !
ReplyDeleteAmazing collection of photos. So many great ideas. Thank you.
