Plates, especially high-end china or antiques, sometimes use artistry to add elegance to the appearance of the dish, combining form with function to create pieces that often become collectibles. Displaying these plates is a common interior-decorating motif. While there is no set manner for creating the decoration, there are a few methods that you can use not only to present the plates in the best possible way, but also keep them safe from damage.

Attach Shelves to Metal Wall Studs
Metal studs are an environmentally friendly building material due to their ability to be recycled. The thin-gauge metal studs, however, pose problems for homeowners who are used to hanging shelves and decorations from wood studs. Unlike wood studs, the thickness of the metal stud does not provide enough material to hold threads and support significant weight. Therefore, you must use another kind of fastener that plays on the strength of the entire stud, not the thickness of the metal. Does this Spark an idea?
