Decorative Wall Plates

Think twice!...

Decorative wall plates are a great way to bring a splash of color, and liven up any wall, or empty shelf in your rooms. Sometimes, this home decor accent is overlooked, even though decorating with wall plates is considered an age old custom.

Tips on Decorating with Wall Plates:

• Look for decorative plates that match with the decor style you have in mind for that particular room
• Display wall plates which don't have any cracks, major scratches, or discoloration
• Display a grouping of 3,4, up to 10,11 plates on the wall, to create a striking focal point in the room. Try different sizes:put the bigger one(s) in the center.
• Use grouping plates made of the same material:either ceramic, porcelain, bone China,stoneware, or even glassware or stone.Another way of grouping is by the motif painted on the plate or by color
• Decorate your house,and save money! Wall plates decor is really one of the least expensive ways for home decor!Build your collection by looking no further than your own cupboards. Look in second hand shops, trift stores or garage sales. You will find beautiful vintage pieces that need just a good polish to look like new!
• Use decorative plates in bedrooms, above the headboard, in bathrooms. Display them in a row, or one above the other, in hallways.
  In kitchens place them on the wall space beside overhead cabinets, or beside a window.
