How to Hang Pictures Without Nails
When decorating your home, you’ll likely want to hang artwork, family photographs, and other décor on your walls. However, hammering nails into your walls in order to do so can create gaping holes that are a pain to fix when you want to take the decorations down. Thankfully, there are ways to hang pictures without nails, eliminating this problem. For example, you can use:
Adhesive Hooks
Adhesive hooks are one of the best solutions for hanging heavy artwork and framed pictures without using nails. There are many different types of adhesive hooks available, and they can be found at most hardware and home goods stores. To use, simply peel off the back of the adhesive, affix the hook to the wall, and wait until the adhesive dries. Then, just hang your picture onto the hook.
Mounting Putty
For lighter-weight pictures, mounting putty is a great hanging option. Mounting putty is similar to tape, but it is slightly stronger and can adhere to surfaces that tape might not stick to. Mounting putty can also be found almost anywhere home goods are sold.
Lean the Pictures
Another option is to avoid hanging the pictures altogether by leaning larger pieces of artwork against your walls, thus avoiding the need for nails. This is an especially popular look in homes with modern interior designs.
