How to create your own Plate Display

I love hanging plates on walls. Precious plates are meant to be on display so you can feel happy inside every time they are caught by your eye, & curated plate wall collections are always such a beautiful feature in a home or shop, especially if they’re mixed in with other wall hanging treasures.

Top Tips for Wowser Walls

Here are my leading pointers on how to develop your own wowsers display with your plate collection:

Step the area of the wall that you're intending on covering with plates, then define the exact same space on the flooring

Beginning at the centre with your preferred and crucial plate, add a rhythmic mix of the numerous sizes of plates working away from the centre. I tend to have a gap of about 3 to 4 inches in between the plates. This step will assist you quickly attempt different designs

When you're happy with your layout, take a birds eye view image on a phone or camera of the plates whilst balancing precariously on a chair over your display screen. Key at this moment to not drop your cam or yourself, both of which (as I have done) triggers a couple of tears. Avoid red wine before starting as that assists neither issue happen.

Next mark the centre of the display screen on your wall area, & begin by hanging your main plate. Start to work outwards, describing your photo to ensure you stick to your design.

When you are ended up, you can switch the same sized plates around to make your last changes 

... And voila! you have an incredibly smashing feature wall.

What’s in a Wall (Colour)….

I love the way the classic Fine Bone China blends with white walls, but black and white plate design’s have the unique ability to look great on any tone or colour as they really pop.

Dark painted walls behind plate walls can look incredibly dramatic! Farrow and Ball’s ‘Hague Blue’ is my absolute favourite as it makes the gold sparkle that bit more too.

All my plate designs & brass plate hangers are available now in sizes coaster, small, medium, large (& some designs even supersize) so you can get started on a wall of your own easy peasy.

Welcome to The Ink House, an artist’s mysterious mansion, built on a magical pool of ink that inspires creativity in anyone who lives there. When the artist goes adventuring, animals great and small arrive for the Annual Ink House Extravaganza. The party is about to begin…

Featuring a cast of loveable characters and discoveries on every page, this exquisitely inked picture book by acclaimed artist Rory Dobner will surprise and delight readers of all ages.

How did I get the book? Received from Publisher in exchange for an honest review

Genre: Picture Book

Review: The Ink House is a visually stunning picture book. Predominately in black and white each page has beautifully illustrations of the house guests that visit. There is also a little extra treat at the end where you can re-visit the story to find the smallest visitors, but I don’t want to give too much away. 🙂

My critique for this book would be that it really is all about the art. The story isn’t that detailed. With the owner is gone, a menagerie of visitors descends.

The enjoyment of The Ink House is derived from the illustrations and they deliver plentiful.
