Want to give your home a creative upgrade without messing around with complicated DIY projects? Here’s a hack for showcasing your favourite pieces.

Have you seen perfectly styled walls in home magazines or on Pinterest where plates seem to float weightlessly? You can easily recreate this exact look in your own home – with self-adhesive wall plate holders.

Why self-adhesive wall plate holders are so practical

  • You don’t need tools: just stick one to the back of your plate – done.
  • They’re flexible: they work with everything from small dessert plates to large charger plates.
  • They’re gentle: a single hole in the wall’s enough; the plates stay intact.

How to turn your plates into wall art

  1. Choose your plates: combine different designs, colours and sizes. Create contrasts – think modern, minimal plates next to vintage pieces.

Have you tried this trick yet? Let me know in the comments. I’d love to hear how you got on.
