How to Display Plaques at Home

When you are presented a plaque, you likely want to show it off to your friends or family members, or simply have it placed with others you've received in a place where you can look at them and be proud of your achievements. Hang your plaques in your home in a centralized area. Plaques are much easier to display than trophies are because they can hang on a wall just like a piece of art. Make sure that your plaques are placed in a way in which they complement each other.

Instructions

      Choose a wall in your home on which to display your plaques. Hanging all of the plaques on one wall is a good option because it helps you to keep all of your plaques in one place and to create an attractive display. If you prefer to display plaques in a room that's frequented by guests, consider your living room. Otherwise, keep them slightly hidden in a library or office.

      Experiment with your plaque display collection by placing the plaques on the floor and creating a design. This way, you won't mess up your design on the wall and end up nailing excessive holes in your wall. If your plaques are all the same size and shape, hang them in rows. Most people likely have plaques that are different sizes and shapes. If that's the case, do not hang the plaques in rows, as they will look uneven. Instead, create a design with an even mixture of large plaques, small plaques and ones of different shapes.

      Begin hanging the plaques in the center of your display. Drive a nail into the wall and hang your first plaque. Then hang the plaques that you want directly around the first. This way, you can be sure that the collection of plaques is centered on your wall and that the plaques are spaced evenly.

      Continue hanging your plaques from the center outward until all of the plaques are on the wall.
