How to Decorate With Platters

If you have a collection of attractive platters, you can use them as decor in your home. This type of dinnerware often takes up needed space in your kitchen cabinets. Whether your platters are heirlooms or simply an interesting piece you picked up cheaply at a garage sale, displaying them in your home adds an old-fashioned or eclectic charm to different rooms. The various sizes, colors and patterns provide versatility, whether the platters are displayed on a wall or elsewhere.

Instructions

- 1
  Display the platters on the wall by placing them in plate hangers. These are inexpensive and available at discount, craft and hobby stores or home decor stores. Just hammer a nail onto the wall where you want to hang one platter or form a grouping.
- 2
  Place a platter onto a coffee, end or sofa table as decor. This is particularly appealing if it has a scalloped or another type of interesting design around the perimeter. Set a pillar candle, faux fruit, round decor balls or other objects in the platter to draw attention to it.
- 3
  Stand up a platter in the center of your china cabinet on a plate easel. This provides a focal point that you can surround with smaller dishes. This is also an effective way to add the platter to an end table or sofa table.
