Organize your decorative dishes by theme and size. For example, if you have black and white decorative dishes in a variety of sizes as well as a set of polka dot dishes, separate the two by style and then create subcategories by size.

Draw a sketch of how you wish to decorate your wall with the dishes. Use circles to depict the dishes on the wall, and within each circle use a symbol or letter to represent the exact dish. Doing so helps you understand what type of hanging design you wish to create. Do not use the first design you create; rather, draw a minimum of 5 different designs.

Install wooden or metal shelves onto the kitchen walls if you don't want to simply hang the dishes on the wall. Premanufactured shelving is available at any home improvement retail store in a wide variety of prices and sizes. The typical wall shelf only requires nails, a hammer, perhaps a screwdriver and a leveler to install.

Tips & Warnings
Paint your decorative dishes if you enjoy their size and shape, but not the design.
Place the larger dishes in the middle of the other dishes to create a focal point.
Do not use standard picture hangers to install dishes, as these hangers may not be strong enough to support the weight of a dish; especially the larger ones.
