How to Display Coasters on a Wall

Coasters are traditionally used as a way to protect furniture from sweating drink glasses. These useful accessories sometimes have ornate displays on the surface, whether it’s a mosaic tile work or elaborate painting. Instead of keeping your old coasters hidden away, display them on the wall where they can serve as distinctive decorative pieces.

Instructions

    • 1

      Form a border around the room using coasters. Position coasters of the same size several inches apart and line the wall space approximately 6 to 8 inches below the ceiling.

    • 2

      Hang framed shadow boxes on the wall with the coasters on display. Place a single coaster in each frame or create a layout with an arrangement of multiple coasters. Use a standard picture frame if displaying a collection of paper coasters.

    • 3

      Decorate a wall area such as a soffit or space above a door by lining up several coasters. The coasters provide ideal decorative options for these narrow wall areas.

    • 4

      Devote an entire wall to displaying your coasters. Line them up in a grid-like pattern, with even spacing throughout, or create an eclectic arrangement with sporadic spacing.

    • 5

      Mix the coasters in with other decorative accessories on the wall. Use them as spacers between larger framed pictures. Alternate a pattern of hanging coasters and plates.

    • 6

      Hang a floating shelf on the wall. Place the coasters in stands along the shelf so they’re displayed in an upright position.
