Welcome to All in
the Detail... I am so glad you are here!
As a designer, I am always
scratching my head to figure out exactly what a client wants hung on their
walls. Everyone’s taste in artwork is so diverse that there really is no set
rhyme or reason when it comes to wall décor. And now, wallpaper is back! Oh, I
just love wall paper but it does become dated quite quickly.
Sorry, I digress. Back to hanging
art pieces on a wall, well more specifically, hanging plates on a wall.
Recently, I had a client who has a
very extensive, beautiful collection of decorative plates. She doesn’t
entertain in the dining room very often, so those plates where not getting any
use at her table. But they are so beautiful, it just seemed a crime to hide
them away in a cabinet. So, this got me thinking, let’s hang the plates on a wall
but not in a conventional manner… lined up, straight in a row. After discussing
the idea with my client, I did a little research on the internet and guess what
I found. Plates on a wall!
The project turned out beautifully,
the client, as well as her family and friends, were extremely happy and very impressed. Afterward, I returned back to my office with a collection of
beautiful and unique images of plates on a wall.
So, there you are - images I
gathered on the internet as a concept for her collection … sorry, I’m not
sharing her collection, that seems just a little too invasive but these images
can definitely help you get the idea of what was produced in her beautiful home.
It’s not your Grandmother’s Plate collection anymore.
First, I ran across a collection
(or two) of white plates on a colored wall and that started the creative juices
flowing...
And then that led to these...
Just WOW, right?
