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.

      Recently remodeled my kitchen- we used an Italian Travertine tile as our backsplash..It’s Beautiful.. BUT.. I’ve always hung plates ( special from Spain & travels, antiques from family)& special nicknacks .. Now I’m stressing about how to re-hang with this tile! I DONT want to drill holes in the tile… but I don’t know what’s a good adhesive or Velcro product to use & can’t find any information (I’ve been googling for days☹️). Worried that my precious family plates, etc. will all end up shattered on my countertops. My kitchen is relatively small.. so not much extra wall space- plus- I think it looks ‘naked’ w/out some stuff on backsplash.. Any Ideas???

    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.

So over the moon happy to share that yesterday THI So over the moon happy to share that yesterday THIS HAPPENED 💍 for the other half of AW ♥️ The last three years have been something CRAZY for Ab and I but getting to not only witness but to also play a part in one of the happiest days in each of our lives over these last twelve months has been nothing short of PURE MAGIC ✨ Looking back at all of the tears and uncertainty and heartache we’ve each experienced “together” it feels kind of unreal that each of our fairytales have officially come true… absolutely INCREDIBLE, genuine, steadfast men that we both get to call our FOREVER AFTERS 🥰 There is truly NO ONE more deserving of a fairytale than Abigail. She’s more positive adjectives than will fit on this post… basically every single one in the dictionary… and then some. And believe me when I say that if Jess wasn’t absolutely perfect for her, I would’ve thrown myself on the sidewalk for all she’s done for me. These two love birds are the ABSOLUTE CUTEST EVER and I could not possibly be more thrilled for them and the countdown to their big day…. ♥️♥️♥️

My first true outdoor design project is coming to My first true outdoor design project is coming to life ♥️ And I’m IN LOVE! When John and I made the decision to keep my home and make it OUR HOME for the long term, I decided I wanted to bring the European vibes y’all know I LOVE into our own backyard. It quite honestly wasn’t even as much about adding a pool as it was about the vibe I’d been dreaming up as a whole. Wanting to create an outdoor space that felt warm, inviting, whimsical and elegant. All of the things I try so hard to evoke with my style. A place we can keep our now family of six entertained or just a place John and I can sip coffee in the mornings or wine in the evenings as our kiddos are growing up way way too fast. Bringing what we love about the inside of our home to our fabulous backyard. Thank y’all for following the progress over on stories the last few weeks! It’s far-ish from done for me but you did say y’all wanted to see more pictures on my feed… 😉 Work done by @garrisonmessick and @connergrading ♥️
Y’all voted… MORE PICTURES IT’LL BE! And why Y’all voted… MORE PICTURES IT’LL BE! And why not a little design advice and room details with every post too! 💗 I’m often asked if someone wants to start implementing a more colorful, pattern filled style in their home, where do you even begin? I think the best place to start playing around and living it up is sometimes the smallest of spaces where it’s “okay” to play it up! Laundry rooms, powder rooms, mud rooms and of course kids rooms can be great place to start. I mean, who doesn’t love walking in the door from a busy, stressful day into a vibrant, fun mudroom?!? A few details… The trim color in here is a color I created for our kitchen six years ago now that I am still completely obsessed with. It is a 50-50 mix of Sherwin-Williams Uncertain Gray and Stardew. Both at full strength. It is the most perfect gray blue and it never gets old! Also, this wallpaper is available at shopaddisonswonderland.com and I also blogged a full detail tutorial on how we created this penny tile floor writing. Search “penny” on my blog under the Menu. Happy Weekend!
Okay I have to ask… PICTURES OR REELS? I’m so Okay I have to ask… PICTURES OR REELS? I’m so torn! I joined Instagram to share and be inspired by beautiful designs but I also love sharing the process and progress of it all on a Reel. HOWEVER, sometimes I’d love to just scroll and not have my phone blast a new song at every finger swipe. Anyone with me??? For today, sharing our newly completed living room ♥️ Feels so good to call it DONE! HAPPY WEEKEND!!! P.S. If you’ve been following along on stories we are doing lots in our newly landscapes backyard from filling it with furniture to filling pots to place around the pool. Hope you’ll follow along! Lots pictured here is on the @shop.LTK app under @addisonswonderland and about half including the pillows, lamps and lighting is from shopaddisonswonderland.com!

Goooooooood morning!!!! Ab here 🙋🏼‍♀️ Goooooooood morning!!!! Ab here 🙋🏼‍♀️ Although it is not Portugal, I am sharing the next best thing this morning, state side #ad  It's crazy when the vision you dreamt up over a year ago starts to turn into a reality😭😭😭 Y'all, I am over the MOON about these sofas.  I knew I wanted to go with leather in this space and the #SvenSofa from @article blew my expectations out of the water. This room is constantly used for game nights, late night hangs with the girls, and the occasional lazy Sunday nap AND it is SO dang cozy.  Who's coming over for dinner???  #ourarticle  Swipe to see where this room AKA the “Key Lime Pie Room” started… who else loves those office lights?!?
Feels like HOME ♥️ Today on stories I was shar Feels like HOME ♥️ Today on stories I was sharing on a questionnaire slide how much it pains me to hear that someone is “designing/decorating their home for resale” without any plans of resale in sight. You LIVE in your home! It’s your refuge, your family memories, your safe space and something that even if rented or for a moment in time is all “yours”. Let it give you all the feels 🥰 Everything is either linked on @shop.ltk or from shopaddisonswonderland.com
