Add some Personality to any Room with some Beautiful Decorative Plates
Home decoration goes all the way back to the ancient Chinese. In those old days, they used a technique called ‘feng shui’ to organize their households. This complex set of rules and theories helped them create flow and harness energy in their domicile.
Today some people still use this classic technique with their interior decoration. But others just go with what feels right. Your home should serve as a reflection of yourself. And many people don’t need a centuries-old theory of energy flow to help them figure out what they like and where the couch should be.
Hanging decorative plates are a great way to display your personality around the house. You can find ones with clever sayings, gorgeous scenes and fun characters. Take a look at these examples of decorative plates that might fit in with your overall home motif.
Primitive Wood Quilt Star Plate – Hearthside Collection
Looking to add a rustic feel to your home? If your house already features gorgeous exposed wood rafters and an all around old timey feel, this decorative plate will look fantastic with the rest of your decor.
This plate has a design that features two stars laid upon one another. Designer Kathy Graybill created this heavy wood masterpiece. First, it was painted by hand and then meticulously antiqued. The antiquing process helps to make it look aged. You can find this gorgeous 12-inch plate in a variety of different colors.
Primitive Pineapple Painted Wood Plate
When summertime rolls around, many families have the tradition of going to the old beach house for a vacation. This is the week when everyone gets to relax and have some fun. Seafood meals are frequent on the grill and days are whiled away sitting in the sand and soaking up the sun.
Add to the tropical feeling of your summertime getaway with this primitive pineapple wood plate. In the center, you can find a pineapple design that has been hand painted. On the outside of the plate there are also simple flower and stem designs.
Remember that this plate is only for decorative use. As tasty as that pineapple looks, you don’t want to eat off of this gorgeous decorative plate!
Primitive Frosty Greetings Snowman Plate
Wintertime can be a grind. You spend month after month indoors in close proximity with your family members, significant other or roommates. To help avoid those cold weather blues, many individuals have the bright idea to decorate their house in a fun and festive way.
This celebratory snowman plate bids “Frosty Greetings” to anyone who walks into your cozy abode. The center features a smiling snowman face with a big carrot nose that has been hand painted. On the outside of the plate, the friendly snowman is surrounded by four distinct snowflakes. Don’t let the ice and snow get you down. Celebrate the season with this cheery decorative plate.
Primitive “HOPE” Mini Wooden Plate
Hope can be a very powerful tool. It inspired Tom Hanks’ character in the feature film ‘Castaway’ to never give up on getting off that island, and it helps other people get through the tough times every day of their lives.
With this hanging plate, you can remind yourself each and every day about the power of hope. It comes equipped with a jute hanger and magnet and measures just 4 inches in diameter. This inspirational plate is great for your own home or as a thoughtful gift for a friend.
7 Inch Primitive Willow Tree with Stars Plate
One of the most recognizable signs of easy southern living is the weeping willow tree. This image brings up thoughts and memories of sitting all day by a lazy river, dipping your toes in, taking a swim or catching some fish.
Even if you don’t live in the southern states, you can still catch some of that laid back and friendly attitude with this weeping willow plate. The hand painted willow tree sits in the center and it is surrounded by single red stars.
The willow tree has long been a frequent symbol in folk art, probably because of its extremely distinctive look and the fond memories that it helps people to recall. This plate measures 7 inches in diameter and will look gorgeous when displayed on your mantle.
4-1/2 Inch Primitive Schoolhouse Plate
Another common design in folk art is the classic old schoolhouse. This 4-1/2-inch plate has a fun hand painted schoolhouse design that even features the school bell at the top. On the top of the plate are the letters “A B C” and at the bottom “1 2 3.” Either side of the plate shows an apple. But don’t just give an apple to the teacher in your life. Give them the thoughtful gift of this beautiful plate.
Decorative plates are a great way to reflect your true personality and inspire those that come into your home. Any of these beautiful hand painted item will help to warm up your domicile for years to come.
