They both serve well as wall decoration, but they also have different uses in the wall decor. After thinking about it for a while I now have 3 good reasons to decorate with plates for you. Reason 1 - Plates are easy to fit into a spot Do you know the feeling of having a blank spot on a wall, where you miss something, but can't quite fill it out?
