At VanGo Pottery,™ we love painting dinnerware items, especially plates. Painting plates is not only a fun, creative way to express yourself, but the finished pieces become functional works of art. We love using our wares for eating and serving at home and at dinner parties. However, plates don’t have to be reserved solely for utilitarian purposes: use them to decorate your bedroom, living room, and any other unexpected place.
When decorating with plates, there are several ways to create the look you want. Choose plates with unusual colors and contemporary designs to make a bold statement. Juxtapose old and new by hanging contemporary style plates with classic furniture to create an eclectic look. Hanging your plates directly above a unique piece of furniture, such as a teacart, helps to highlight the plates. Grouping similarly colored plates in a unique arrangement can make quite a statement. A white wall allows dishes to pop without competing for attention, but a colored wall works too, as long as the hues are complementary.
Hopefully, you’re feeling inspired to look for new and creative ways to display plates in your home. And, instead of spending hours and hours (and tons of money) looking for unique plates to complement your design, why not paint your own set of plates? Call our studio today to schedule a plate painting party with your friends. We have lots of sizes and shapes from which to choose. The possibilities are endless…
Thank you for your designs and inspiration:
