Store-bought kitchen storage solutions can become monotonous over time. If you prefer standout pieces that add a unique touch to your home, consider crafting your own kitchen storage items. This allows you to personalize and ensure they perfectly align with your home’s design. Transforming thrifted plates into storage solutions is a clever approach. Just affix decorative hooks or knobs to the center of the plates and secure them to your kitchen wall. These plates can then be used to hang aprons, kitchen towels, and more.
Finding the ideal decorative plates is crucial for this storage idea to be visually appealing. Basic white plates may not enhance your kitchen’s aesthetic. Search for attractive plates at antique stores and thrift shops. Buy as many as you need to hang your desired items in the kitchen. If you find plain plates you want to use, feel free to paint designs on them to create unique decorative dishware. Use ceramic-friendly paint markers to easily add any design that reflects your style.
Customize your thrifted plates and hooks
Creating this wall-mounted kitchen storage solution is a simple process. If you have plain plates you wish to decorate, start by using a product like the LMMINBZ Ceramics Pens. No advanced painting skills are required to add designs to your plates with these pens. Once your plates are decorated, use a hot glue gun to attach a decorative knob or hook in the center. Remember, the knob or hook also serves as a decorative feature, so choose one that matches your plate’s design.
If you have knobs or hooks already, consider spray painting them in a color that complements your DIY project. Otherwise, purchase ones that match your style. For plates with sparkling features, options like NORTHERN BROTHERS Diamond Glass Pulls might be suitable, while wooden wall hooks would be ideal for a boho or rustic look.
After securing the knob or hook, flip the plate and attach self-adhesive strips to the back. It’s wise to measure and mark where you want to hang your plates to ensure they are evenly spaced and correctly positioned. Once the plates are mounted on your wall, you can hang towels or aprons on them, enhancing the organization of your kitchen.
