Once you hang the plates up , the only part of the hanger that shows is the bottom decorative "feet".
You can do similar treatments on your back wall to enhance your patio , or make an arrangement inside , say in your dining room or kitchen. While I might argue that the scale is too large for the furniture , one can break the rules in a commercial installation and get away with it. Get creative with your collector plates well , maybe these aren't necessarily collector plates. Nine plates could be hung in two rows (4 on top and 5 on the bottom).
This grouping of plates was arranged on an outside wall , compliments of the viceroy hotel in santa monica , ca. As for arrangement ideas: group odd numbers together. It makes for a dramatic display that is stunning and very beautiful. The key is to make sure the arrangement is balanced and that the plates are hung close enough to visually form a united grouping that is balanced , and proportional to the wall and in good scale to any furniture below it. Decorative plates often come with ribbons for hanging.
They come in various sizes , designs and finishes and you should find one perfect for your needs. You'll find this method of hanging collector plates or decorative plates to be an easy , safe solution. So what? you don't need special types of plates to use them creatively and decoratively in your decor. ! Or they would be arranged in 3 rows of 3 each for a more traditional design.
But you might not want to trust a ribbon for your rare or very good plates. There are some kinds available over the internet as well as at your local hardware store. So I suggest you pick up some hangers designed specifically for a project like this. notice that the grouping shown forms a geometric shape overall.
