How to Use Plate Holders
Some plates are just too beautiful to be hidden in a china cabinet away from viewing. Stunning patterns on plates can be enjoyed as much as a painting when displayed properly on a plate holder. Using a plate holder offers ideas to decorate rooms with treasured plates that are family heirlooms. Plate holders are available in finishes to complement any décor. Wood finishes or metal holders come in sizes and styles suitable for plates or platters that will add charm to any room. Does this Spark an idea?

Purchase a tiered plate holder that mounts on a wall. Tiered plate holders display two or three plates vertically. This style holds a large plate at the bottom and a smaller plate at the top.

Set plate holders over the top of kitchen cupboards that are not connected to the ceiling. Many kitchens have an open-space between the ceiling and cupboards which provide ample room to display plates.

Select seasonal themes for the holidays. Autumn plates and platters have colors in rust, yellow and orange to bring a festive mood to a room.

Decorate a mantel with a striking plate and holder. Add colored glass vases to balance the look on the mantel.

Paint the wall with a color from the plate. Choose a color that is not a dominate color in the plate. Painting the wall to match a dominate color will cause the plate to blend into the wall instead of standing out as a piece of artwork.
