how to hang art without nails

3mpicturehangingstrips apartmenttherapy how to hang art without nails

Have you ever used anything from the 3M Command system? We use a lot of the small hooks on the inside of cupboard doors and other places that might be too awkward to put a nail. Plus I have a pack of their tiny hooks for hanging holiday lights inside our house this year.

I recently saw picture hanging strips at my local office supply store – brilliant! It’s like velcroing framed art to your wall! I wish these were around back when I rented an apartment. I haven’t tried them out yet, but I thought I’d pass the idea along to you. Have you used the 3M picture hanging strips? Or do you have another non-destructive solution for hanging artwork?

standard artwork frame sizes

Hi There!

How was your weekend? We’ve been spending quite a bit of time lately talking to people about how to choose a standard picture frame size for artwork that they would like to hang. It’s the time of year for organizing so I guess hanging artwork goes right along with it. Now, frame sizing does vary greatly based on the style of the room and personal preference, but here’s a starting point, this is what is readily available off the shelf without the need for custom framing.

If you’re trying to figure out what size frame would be best in your space, don’t forget to review our handy artwork size chart.

What other tools and how to’s would help you with your artwork dilemmas?

I saw this polaroid heart in Cookie magazine last year and I can’t stop thinking about it.  It’s so inspiring!  Think of all the different shapes that you could do.  A wave could be really cool, especially if you could organize the images by colour so it really flows across the wall. Read More »
