Ideas for choosing decorative plates and objects for your unique style

Depending on your personal style, there are many ways to incorporate stunning plates and objects for display in your home. From metal table chargers in a formal dining room to large decorative plates hung on the wall, to other decorative objects in our selection, there are a lot to choose from. If your home is transitional in style, look for unexpected shapes - geometric patterns and non-circular are popular options - and sculptural aspects. If your home is more contemporary or modern, try celebrating the materials in a decorative accessory: hand-blown glass and metallic finishes are perfect for these styles. If you lean more toward traditional or Victorian styled rooms, look for classic shapes. Remember, ceramic and porcelain are excellent materials for this style!

Creative ideas for displaying decorative plates

Decorative plates, chargers, and decorative accessories are keys to having a well styled home. It brings a thoughtful aspect to how you want to fill your shelves or adorn your tables, because decorative items are not utilitarian or entirely functional. You can incorporate table chargers into your home with a decorative plate stand on a sideboard, an artistic collection mounted on the wall, or a plate featured as a table centerpiece. You can also place decorative kitchen plates and decorative platters above a row of cabinets or display them on a shelf. Bookshelves are a great place to incorporate visual interest with decorative accessories!

Choosing between ceramics, mosaics, glass and painted glass

The difference between ceramics, mosaics, glass and painted glass is both in how a plate is created and the overall decorative look you are interested in. Decorative ceramic plates often have a more traditional feel, with glazing and decorative details that inspire a classic interior. A mosaic decorative plate will have pieces of glass or ceramic placed artistically together to create a whole new piece. It is a great choice for an artisanal or hand made look! Glass platters will have a beautiful transparent look that will celebrate color and figure in hand blown glass details. Painted glass will have a similar feel, with the added detail of surface painting.
