Using dinner plates as wall art is a decorating trick that has been around for years and is currently trending. I recently saw them on the wall of a kitchen on Modern Family ( I think I watch tv shows as much for design ideas as I do for the storlines!). Plates can can fit into any decor depending on the designs and colors you choose. I collect transferware plates and use them in almost all rooms of my house. Here's a good article on transferware collecting:
