Trend Alert: Mix-and-Match Wall-Hung Plates

March 21, 2023

Hanging plates on the wall en masse is already a fairly established design trend, but recently we’ve been taking note of a more eclectic approach by way of mix-and-match styles paired together. As opposed to a group of plates by the same ceramicist or in the same color and pattern, designers and the design-minded are mixing styles from Delft, landscapes, Portuguese, French, English, and folk origins. In some cases—and a rising trend in particular—each individual plate is a mashup: part plain white china, part pattern.

Here are our favorite examples.

The plates are a mix-and-match look on the whole and also feature individual plates that are cut and re-fitted for a hybrid look: patterned and white plate combined.
