Clusters of complementary (or clashing) plates make appealing freeform wall art arrangements, as in this roundup of photos. A great way to lend a higher purpose to discarded plates.

Plates with words can make especially meaningful art. See Remodelista’s post Accessories: Plates with Words as Decor.

+ add your owngreat ideas:)
Thanks for the article.
That's a neat idea! Would be cute especially in the kitchen...
Lisa W; in the Fine Little Day picture (plates 6) you can see little hooks around the plates, if you look carefully. Otherwise, I think it's possible to glue a hanger on the backside of a plate.
I don't understand - I don't see plate hangars on any of these. How are they sticking them to the walls without any visible support? Am I not able to see the forest for the trees? It's probably something really simple, doh! Somebody tell me!
Unimpressed, but find be able to think of more applicable, topics r scenes v words maybe.
Cute in pictures but if you didn't have the right house it would look stupid.
Neat idea!
i've always used left over plates on my walls - you know, when a set is done but you quite liked it and feelo like saving one or two.
i never did think of actually packing a wall full of them. they look great but with kids and pets...
I love it!
