…quick fix series: wall decor

October 17, 2013 by christen | Leave a Comment

Wall decor can be very expensive. Original art, framing, photography, etc. It can all be pricey and actually difficult to try to work into a room unless you really know what you are doing.

My favorite solution is plates! They are inexpensive and you get to play with color, patterns, styles, and age.

Pick different sizes & shapes, but in the same color family for a bold look.

Floral plates. Vintage or from Anthropologie, very sweet and a bit playful. I have little bird plates in Greta’s room.

Black & white plates can look sophisticated. I have white plates with delicate gold trim in my living room.

I revealed my plate-hanging secret before, but here it is again in case you missed it. DISC Adhesive Plate Hangers. They are perfect because you don’t have to see any metal hanging over the plate.

Another favorite & inexpensive idea for wall decor – specifically for your kitchen/dining areas are bread boards. They are rustic and beautiful and can go in every style of kitchen.

Behind your range. Mix and match shape & size. Vintage and new.

Love this wall of boards and little framed art.

This image below is one of my very favorites. I totally plan on doing this in the next home we built. Love it.
