How to Hang Plates on Backsplash

HOW TO HANG PLATES ON BACKSPLASH

Welcome! So maybe you popped over from Pinterest, maybe you are a regular (muah!) or maybe you just wanted a quick peek at how you can get this fun and interchangeable backsplash decor idea. Whatever the case may be, please read this ENTIRE POST. I promise you will thank me later :-)…

I have a serious obsession with random plates. I buy just one of each that I come across and have built up quite an inventory of onsies over the years. I love mixing them up for a dinner setting or using them as serving platters. I usually find my favorites at HomeGoods or HERE. Then one day I got this crazy idea. Seeing as though I love a good pop of color and pattern AND we have lots of space behind our cooktop, why not hang several on the backsplash? So I went scrummaging around our garage for ideas on how to do so. That’s when I ran across a package of Command hooks I had purchased for our front door. I ran to my local Michaels to grab some plate hangers and voila! Instant, cheap and super easy accent wall in our kitchen!

Shop Plates:

So here’s where the “read this entire post” begins… First, I re-purchased items to show you what is needed for this project. I had originally purchased white plate hangers at Michaels but also just found these gold ones at Hobby Lobby. Either work great! Also, I used Outdoor Command Hooks originally just because that’s what we had and after using one of these pictured below, I do HIGHLY recommend the Outdoor Command Hooks. For whatever reason, they seem to adhere better than the regular ones. Also, HUGE DISCLAIMER… I cannot guarantee that this DIY will work on your backsplash as well as it did ours. Our backsplash is clear glass tile which is not pourous like some travertine and stone tile so those may not adhere as well. Make sure to test the hooks with your cheap china FIRST before trying out your Sunday best. And finally, I am not sure how easily these can be removed from your backsplash. We have had one fall randomly but other than that, I have not attempted to remove the hooks.

Step Two

Open Command hook package and adhere tape according to instructions to the hook and then to your backsplash. Push it down very hard against backsplash to adhere securely.

    Hi there! Did you paint your island? If so, what colors did you use? Also, the cute side table that your friend gave you, did you also paint that? Are they the same color? So adorable! Would you mind sharing? Thanks so much! Love everything!

    Many years ago, in my previous home, I purchased a set of Spode Blue Room Archive plates and hung them across my backsplash by drilling small screws into the grout. This set-up worked beautifully for years.

    Thanks for posting. I recently tiled two walls in my kitchen and was looking for a way to dress them up. I have sage cabinets with grey tile. I love the idea of adding some cool color now with the plates I have collected from all the resale shops I been to over the years. Your directions are perfect! Keep the projects coming!

    Thank you so much.
    I’ve been looking forever to try and figure out what I could use to hang my plates on my kitchen tile.

It may be five years later but this week Ab and I It may be five years later but this week Ab and I are finally finishing this tile! 🙌🏻 In my procrastination defense, I WAS going to put a shelf right there but then I changed my mind... 4 years and 11 months ago now 🤦🏻‍♀️ Better late than never! Excited to make 2021 the year I mark stuff off my list! 💗💗💗 What house project are YOU dying to get done this year?
My home is celebrating it’s 113th birthday and A My home is celebrating it’s 113th birthday and Ab and I are celebrating our first successful project of 2021 AND the first completed week of our new blog schedule! Yep, our penny tile mosaic super detailed tutorial and reveal is LIVE on the blog as well as three more posts this week. Pop over and sign up to follow along! P.S. If you’re wondering why I chose to orient the saying this way, I pondered it for a while. In the end I chose this way because we literally never ever use this back door. Anyone entering our home either comes through the front door where this is visible down the hallway, up the basement stairs where this greets them at the top or around through our laundry room or family room. Basically when your 1908 home has a million exterior doors, most end up going unused. HAPPY FRIDAY!!! ❤️ Oh and P.S.S. This wallpaper, trim color, artwork and all of the tile details are on the post!

Ever feel like you’re going to battle choosing a Ever feel like you’re going to battle choosing a paint color? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Looking for the perfect creamy white/blue-green gray combo and tested out quite a few today. What are your faves of either? Sharing some sneak peeks at our cabin progress and my design plan on stories today! Oh and the full reveal and detailed tutorial of the penny tile mosaic we were working on last week is live on the blog today!
Did a little rustic wood shopping over the weekend Did a little rustic wood shopping over the weekend which meant I just had to snag another cutting board 💗 See it over there looking all cute? I think this one just might be cutting board wall worthy! 😉 Sharing more of my finds on stories today. Several new projects coming soon from my finds too! Also thought I’d take this “cleaned my kitchen just for this picture” opportunity to answer two of my most asked questions... what is your cabinet color and what are your countertops? My cabinets are a 50/50 color mix I created when I was determined to find the perfect blue-gray mix. It’s a full strength, equal mix of SW Stardew and SW Uncertain Gray. My countertops are Calcutta Reale marble and I’m sharing all of my thoughts about marble in a kitchen on the blog! Link in bio!
2021 coming in HOT! 🔥 Ab and I both “showed u 2021 coming in HOT! 🔥 Ab and I both “showed up today” for a full day of work in a full face of makeup and well... THIS. Links anyone? John’s socks are mighty cozy! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Baby steps into the new year. Baby steps. In other news, my closet is next on the list for completion! A few finishing touches and I’ll finally share it all on the blog ❤️
P.S. For those about to ask, the built-ins are a 50/50 mix of SW Stardew and SW Uncertain Gray at full strength just like my kitchen cabinets and main level interior doors and the island is BM Dark Harbour. HAPPY FRIDAY!
Hello 2021! We are back and READY FOR IT ❤️ Ca Hello 2021! We are back and READY FOR IT ❤️ Can’t say I’ll miss 2020 or even 2019 quite honestly.

From new projects to new business ventures and all kinds of big personal life changes, hoping 2021 is everything we are all praying it can be.

All is Merry & Bright ❤️... My love for renova All is Merry & Bright ❤️... My love for renovations just went pint-sized! I cannot even tell you how much fun Ab and I have had on this mini little renovation. #ad Winter asked for a Barbie dreamhouse for Christmas and I just couldn’t hold back. The only problem was that I only had a day or so to go and we were still wrapping twine for chandeliers and spray painting furniture… oops! Thank GOODNESS for @walmart and Walmart+. By becoming a member of Walmart+, you can save nearly 2.5 hours per week with free delivery from your store on orders $35+ (Savings based on 3 store trips per week.

My very own sidekick WONDER WOMAN 👊🏻 This gi My very own sidekick WONDER WOMAN 👊🏻 This girl right here demoed out this entire cabin with her own two hands in 24 hours. A million pounds of junk and carpet and tack strips and everything in between. We just might have had a little fun on stories today documenting some of it too! Now it’s time for DESIGN!!! Eeeeekkkk!!!! If only y’all could’ve been a fly on the wall watching us take these pix 🤦🏻‍♀️ We finally decided, after a million failed attempts with a tiny phone tripod perched on the hood of my car, to video and then screenshot the best moment. Genius Ab. GENIUS!!!
