I'm trying to decide what to do with the large wall behind my dining room table. The space isn't big enough for a piece of furniture and there isn't much room in the budget for a large/expensive piece art. I want something with big impact so I'm thinking a grouping of wall brackets might look nice. I like the look of Miles Redd's design pictured above. He used plaster wall brackets to display Celadon vases from Middle Kingdom. I like the repetition and how the monochromatic vases add depth to the wall. Steven Gambrel also used plaster brackets in his design pictured below. Although nice, there's something about the arrangement that is throwing me off...maybe the lack of symmetry.
Celerie Kemble used acrylic wall brackets from plexi-craft to display a group of small potted plants. I like how they sort of disappear and make it look like the plants are floating. Plexi-craft sell these shelves in a variety of sizes on their website. At $12/each, it would be fairly inexpensive to recreate this look, I'd just have to kind a way to keep the plants alive...
