How To Hang Plates On The Wall
I had these blue and white Mediterranean style plates and I needed something for my bedroom wall above the bed. Bingo!
Everything in my bedroom was blue and white accessories. The bedspread color I could not be any happier because the color is the perfect blend of beige that accents the blue. The main attraction in this room was going to be the space above the bed. Thats where the decorative plates come into play.
What Kind Of Plates To Hang On The Wall
The best plates in my opinion are composite such as melamine because they don’t break. If you are using breakable plates . I recommend using ones that are not expensive. Thrift store finds are great, but make sure they aren’t valuable vintage fine. Check the markings on the back of the plate.
What is melamine. It is a chemical that has many industrial uses. In the United States, it is approved for use in the manufacturing of some cooking utensils, plates, plastic products, paper, paperboard, and industrial coatings, among other things.
Melamine plates are great for this project. I am not into eating off plastic but for decorative purposes I think its perfect. They come in all sorts of designs and Talavera design is one of my favorite. Hope you love how to hang plates on the wall

Plates: I found these on Amazon. (Kathleen Rowley collection)
How To Hang Plates On The Wall
- I centered the plates in between the doors. Have a specific area to work made it easier to measure. I penciled a mark where each plate would go.
2. Turn the plates over and put 4 command strips on the back of the plate. The reason why? The back of the plates is 1/2 inch lower than the front. Four strips were the magic number to make the plates even to the wall.
3. Make sure the wall is clean. Apply pressure on the plate against the wall for about a 5 minutes
Make sure each plate is secure on the wall before you add all them on. If they don’t fall off in 10 minutes they are secured on. Sometimes the paint can have a waxy film on it. You can sand that specific area if you find the command strips do not work. If its latex paint then it should be fine for the command strips to adhere. The plates stayed on and I was happy.
I am so excited to see it all the plates come together. The plates add the perfect blend of Mediterranean touch to my blue bedroom. I can picture myself or a guest lying around in bed having a cup of tea or coffee looking around thinking of being near the Mediterranean coast.

Such a pretty room Maria…I am a HUGE fan of blue accents here, especially in a bedroom where it’s so soothing!
Janet, I am doing another Challenge and I picked blue again, I think its because the only thing I liked from the sponsor was this blue Tiffany lamp! I was into green last year but needed a change. Such a treat to have your stop by.

Maria,Where do I begin? Love the doors with the sconces! What a fantastic idea. I’m a coastal dweller who uses our oysters for frames as well, so just love that mirror. The bench with the lucite legs? Fantastic. All in all it’s a lovely room…can you check your calendar and let me know when it’s available? I’m packing my bags right now.
