Photo platters, which were originally made for serving duty, are fast becoming interesting items for home decor.
Home Decor Ideas
Forget traditional framed photos, photo platters are a refreshing approach to wall décor. Their unique shape and different sizes opens you to an exciting world of decorating.
The Gallery Wall
A gallery wall is a stylish way to show several photo platters. This wall allows your creativity to flow. Here, you can mix and match different sizes, shapes and orientations (portrait, landscape) to get an outstanding result.
Family photos, travel memories, or art prints can be added to the collection. Artworks, mirrors and small shelves also help you to add character to the design.
Arch Patterns and Focal Points
Create a striking focal point by arranging photo platters in an arch pattern above a sofa, bed, or fireplace. People are attracted to this type of design and it adds a sense of wealth to the room. You can also use a single, large photo platter as a statement piece above a console table or in a hallway. Each of them will give you the same effect.
Floating Shelves and Ledges
Floating shelves or picture ledges are a flexible way to show photo platters. Lean smaller platters against the wall, layering them in front of larger ones to create depth and visual interest. Add other items, like books, plants, or small sculptures, to create a stylish theme.
Thematic Displays
Tell a story through themes. Group photo platters with similar interests together in your home. For example, a travel-theme with photos from different trips, or a family history display with vintage family photos.
Table Centerpiece Arrangements
Photo platters can turn your dining, coffee, or console into a personalized holder of your favorite memories. You can use the table in different ways.
Candlelight Memories
Using a photo platter as the backdrop of a candle gives it a special effect. The candlelight makes it seem like the image is a contrast of shadows and light which makes it an interesting sight.
