The Great Wall of Plates

A good mix of color and pattern is my theme song.  I love to mix things up, especially in a relatively traditional and neutral home.  So when my sister and I got the opportunity to decorate a wall in a relative’s new home, we got excited and then got to shopping!  I wanted to do something unique with a touch of whimsy.  We hit up TJMaxx Home Goods and Target for a fun mix of plates in different shapes, sizes, colors and patterns.

BEFORE

SHOPPING

We purchased a good assortment of plates from both stores and ended up not using all of them.  Better to have too many than not enough!  We also found these The Hillman Group 122048 Plate Hanger, Small that are perfect for this little project.

PREP WORK

We first laid out all of the plates on the floor to determine the layout and design.  We decided on a symmetrical layout and chose to focus the colors along the bottom of the design to create good visual weight and balance.
