{gold plated}

Using plates as a design element is an easy way to add character to your home.  The wonderful thing about a plate display is that it should evolve.  You can begin your collection with a few plates and an interesting platter, letting it grow as you find more complimenting treasures.  Now, some would completely disagree with me and claim that a plate wall is too old fashioned and should be reserved for Grandmothers.  I say that the plate walls we see these days are traditional yes, but also fresh and eclectic.

If you have been considering a plate display in your home, don't put it off!  Design Sponge has an easy DIY video on how to start a plate wall display here.  You can find plate hangers very inexpensively at almost any store.  If you don't know where to begin, Anthroplogie has many very interesting plates that would go together beautifully. Take the time and fill that empty wall in your house, show off your beautiful china or your collection of interesting plates.  You will be so glad you did.
