Do you have a bunch of beautiful dishes that are always sitting in the cupboard and you don’t have the heart to use them? So why not make them a great addition to your wall? Hanging plates on the wall is a little trickier than hanging pictures because plates are fragile and come in different shapes and sizes, including their weight. But that’s okay, in this article we’ll teach you how to cleverly hang plates on the wall to create a unique decorative effect.

First, make sure you have the following tools and materials:
- Plates: Choose plates of various sizes and shapes to create a more layered effect.
- Plate Hanging Rack or Plate Hanging Tape: This is a key tool that makes it easy to secure your plates to the wall.
- Measuring Tools: Measure locations and intervals.
- Pencil: Mark the location on the wall.
- Tape: For attaching additional embellishments.
Creative arrangement
Before hanging the boards, you can lay out the layout you want on the ground. You can try different arrangements to create unique patterns. Consider the size, color, and shape of your plates so that each one blends in with its surroundings.
Mark the wall
Using a measuring tool and pencil, mark the hanging spot for each plate on the wall. This can help you ensure that your dishes are neatly organized when hanging on the wall.
Install the mounting bracket or mounting film
According to the mark, install the mounting bracket or mounting film. These tools usually have good load-bearing capabilities, ensuring that your plates can be hung safely on the wall.
Be careful hanging
Carefully hang the plate on the wall. Make sure each plate is hung securely from a plate rack or hanging film. If the plate accidentally falls while hanging and breaks to pieces, use a cleaning tool to remove the fragments immediately. Be careful not to get scratched by the fragments.
Ornamental decoration
Once the plate is hung, you can add some extra decorations, such as removable decorative stickers around the plate or placing small ornaments in the center of the plate.
Periodic inspection
Depending on the wall surface and environment, hanging panels may require periodic inspection. Make sure they are still hanging securely and securely on the wall, with no looseness or other issues.
