Plate stands are a small touch that can make your kitchen feel more sorted and your shelves look more styled. Whether you want to tidy up everyday dinnerware or highlight a favourite piece, a good plate stand adds both order and elegance. It keeps your plates upright, visible and easy to access without stacking or crowding.
At Howards, we stock plate stands that work across a range of spaces and purposes. From practical cupboard storage to display-worthy benchtop pieces, you’ll find a fit that suits your kitchen or living area.
Plate stands offer more than just a place to put a plate. They help keep items safe, upright and easy to reach, while also making your storage look more deliberate.
People use them to:
If you have plates or serving pieces with sentimental or collector value, storing them properly on a stand can help prevent scratches, chips or tipping. Keeping them upright and visible means you're more likely to look after them and enjoy them.
Think about the size, weight and purpose of what you want to store or display. You’ll also want to consider how much space you have and what kind of finish suits your kitchen.
Options include:
For a larger collection, a plate rack or wall-mounted hanger might be a better fit.
Plate stands pair well with other daily-use essentials like mug trees, knife blocks or tea and coffee canisters. Together they help keep your bench tidy and your routines flowing smoothly.
