Decorating with car number plates

The license plates to identify vehicles spend part of our decor. If you like vintage style, rocker and biker or biker, do not miss the ideas that follow.


For some time we have seen how the car plates left their original function to decorate the walls of the rooms. Typically this style of decoration has been associated with youth and male environments, but the plates do a lot more and you can get very different results depending on the use we give into our interior spaces, without falling into the convention that only serve to male decorations.

The old license plates we can find at flea markets or thrift stores. It is true that this type of product is easier to find in other countries where tuition decoration is more common and normal, such as in the United States. Anyway, this style has been internationalized so I do not think it takes much to find them and you can always take advantage of your trips to make you some. General feeling that we will get with this type of decoration in our rooms will be of classic or vintage road to remind the famous Route 66 American.

We can use the plates to decorate a wall, putting several of them forming a regular figure, a rectangle or a square, or the form or composition that we like. This is the traditional way of using them in the world of decoration, but also can be used to line the base of a table, and thus change and completely renovate the look of this type of furniture, or to make a framework with which to hang a picture or mirror in our walls. We can also decorate the risers of the stairs , as we saw a few weeks ago, or use them as a basis to create folders clamp to beautify the walls and have ordered our documents and notes.
