Create Beautiful Wall Art With This Popular Vintage Plate Trend
By MICHELLE ROBERTS-GARCIA
Decorating walls with plates may have been around for a while, but this new version sees mismatched pieces collaged together to create a dynamic and eye-catching display.
Focusing more on the eclectic aspect of art, this trend allows you to get creative with your selections, showing off favored pieces rather than all-matching wall decor.
Mix your vintage plates for a stylish, eclectic design. Size, color, print, and shape can all vary, and it’s one way to incorporate color without having painting or tiling.
If you already have plates, choose a few from different sets. You can also make an entire collection using thrifted plates, seeking out new ones to add whenever you go shopping.
To really capture the vibe, try to find pieces with different cultural origins — for instance, English Blue Willow with Spanish- or French-inspired china, or commemorative plates.
Before actually hanging any dishware, do a test layout on a flat surface to place where you would want each one, so you know how to add them to maximize the designs and prints.
You can hang your plates using MroMax metal hangers or adhesive discs from Amazon. Now that you know what to do, enjoy the creative experience and admire your work of art.
