I need to see the wallpaper IMO those on top of wall paper are going to be pretty busy.I am however much more inclined to do single piece of art .

Thank you! I’ve searched for art and honestly can’t decide what’s best so that’s where the plates idea came from!.

.Here are some examples of plate displays

Cabinets/nook/island

Island

Beautiful room. Pretty plates. Nice configuration. I might swap places of the green platter and one below it. Will this interfere with the light switch? Do you mind that the sunlight might bleach the wall around the plates and leaves plate marks on the wallpaper? It would do the same with a picture, but you can more easily swap out a picture if you tire of it.

Kendra it won’t interfere w the switch, I’ve looked at so much art and can’t decide so plates came to mind. Good points w sunlight!!!

I don't know if that's how you plan to hang them but I suggest you distance them more, something like below. Also like below, if you completed your plate grouping with white plates instead of the green ones it would look better with the blue and white.

And the mix of blue and white:

That’s gorgeous!! Thank you!

I've got a collection of six plates that have images on them that I like far better than any art I have seen. I too am contemplating hanging them somewhere.

I like it. It is personal and cool. And easy to switch around if you want.

I agree with above comment to use one color theme with the plates, like the blue. Will look gorgeous on the green wallpaper.

Beautiful rooms.

Thought this article might be helpful in a variety of ways. https://www.reinventeddelaware.com/plate-wall-decor/

To get a feel of its concept, cut paper to size/tape on wall to help, as plates can feel busy, vs say framed prints.

What a lovely nook! I actually like it as is, with the focus being the view out the windows. But if you decide to hang the plates I'd stick to all blue and white, and use the others for serving ware.

Thanks SO much for the comments!! I’ll post a pic when I finish.

Another compilation w all blue

What about trying your compilation above to include the white plates with green plant on them? I like your idea of mixing colors, but the solid green platter in your first layout doesn't look special enough to include. Or maybe it has a special meaning for you, in which case, ignore me. :) You also can't go wrong with all blue and white on your green wallpaper -- so pretty!

Wow! Thank you! These are all so gorgeous!

Cabinet hardware choices for drawers. I like the cup pull but wonder if a square version of the cabinet pull would look better. Other drawer pull is identical to cabinet one but w a backplate. Hardware will b on walnut cabinets and green island. Thanks for input!!

The plates with blue, green cabbage & white suggested by Stiley makes a very nice grouping. You can get such plates on Amazon. Look at the grouping detail... it includes white plate which is what makes the other plates stand out. And, with the colour of your wall being darker, I think you need that...

Thank you!! I appreciate it!

I used to collect old ironstone plates. and just old beautiful Homer Laughlin designs that I would find. My mom gave me the Tday platter that we used when I was a kid and that started me off on a hunt for Homer.

That got me started and I began to hunt for this vintage stuff and others like it.

I amassed quite a reasonable collection and have really enjoyed it. Most everything is pre mid century. Most I picked up at yard sales and junk stores for next to nothing.

I used to hang an array of them on the walls and enjoyed them.

Then time passed and I had to cull them out and I let go of a lot of them I patched the holes in the wall where the hooks were and repainted. I have not put them back up and probably wont.

I dont think that I would ever be inspired to just go out and buy new stuff to display, but this collecting of these was so much fun. My plates were something that I really enjoyed way before I got the notion to hang them.

I am packing up my life now and have found homes for many of these things and I just kept a few.

As far as I know, you have to put a small nail hole in the wall for each plate. Unless there is some new tech that I am not aware of. That is one big drawback from putting things on the wall, you have to make a hole in the wall/wallpaper, several holes. So, do be mindful of that factor .

That is why I hang almost nothing on my walls anymore You can use those Command hangers on some surfaces but anything of weight will need more. If it goes on the wall, it stays on the wall permanentely .

Also they got dust settled on them and I had to take them down and wash them once in a while.

Created a plate wall: due to placement of light switch, the small blue plates r farther apart; should I readjust? Thx!!

Love it @Renee Pearl! Nicely done!

I just read this discussion and I love what you did. The blue and white is a great color combination and doesn't look "too busy" as someone said. It works perfectly in your home!

But the light switch is in an awkward place-you might bang into that plate at some point when turning the light on or off. You might want to adjust the two green and white ones.

Thank you! Yes I should probably adjust them before they get knocked down.
