Morgan’s secret to an easy plate wall is: invisible plate hanger discs. Add water to the discs, attach them to the back of your plate, let it dry, and then hang it up. You can hang your plates on picture hooks, so you will need a hammer too. “Have fun with it and let your plate gallery be a reflection of your personality. You don’t need a ton of plates to get started either, focus on quality over quantity and remember that it’s a collection, so it can grow over time.“
13. Spice it up
With all the delicious recipes out there, you’re bound to have accumulated an impressive number of spices in your kitchen. But instead of having them take up valuable space in your kitchen cabinets, show them off like the gems they are.
Elisha Kelly, based in Rock Hill, South Carolina, always wanted a pretty spice rack. As the owner and designer of Our Aesthetic Abode LLC, she figured out how to make it happen for her space! “I must say, having all our spices displayed at eye level has been an absolute game changer for cooking,” Kelly says. “Not to mention all the cabinet space we freed up!” She warns that wood stains won’t adhere to wood glue, so make sure to wipe up all of the excess. She has an in-depth tutorial up on her blog on how to create this DIY and add more storage space to your kitchen.
14. Mix in more metals
Your design ideas can be as big as you can fathom. Go for a bold color scheme to add to your kitchen space. Louisa Smith, a partner of Grapevine Interiors, based in Duxbury, Massachusetts and Steamboat, Colorado, says, “For the kitchen, we like to have just a few big statements instead of lots and lots of flourishes.” She adds, “The rest of the appliances (two dishwashers and fridge) are hidden in cabinetry so the copper brass stove is the only break from the clean white look.
