How to Hang Pictures Without Nails

No home feels complete without some framed family photos or a few pieces of art up on the walls. However, hanging pictures with nails can damage your walls, leaving many people lost on how to decorate their home. Luckily for homeowners concerned about their walls and renters worried about their landlords, there are several ways to hang pictures without using nails. For example, you can use:

Double-Sided Tape

For posters and other lightweight decorations, double-sided tape is the way to go. Simply press a few pieces of tape onto the back of the picture you want to hang and then stick it to your wall. When you’re ready to take the pictures down, carefully peel them away from the wall and no damage will be done.

Adhesive Hooks

For heavier decorations, adhesive hooks are a great solution. These hooks are readily available at most hardware stores and they’re also easy to use. Just follow the instructions on the package to adhere the hooks to your walls and then hang your pictures onto the hooks. Later, when you want to take them down, remove the pictures and peel the hooks off of the wall.

Mounting Putty

Another option that’s ideal for lighter-weight pictures is mounting putty. Slightly stronger and more malleable than tape, mounting putty adheres to most surfaces and can be pulled away from walls without causing damage.
