Personalizing your space involves more than just choosing the right paint colors. It is about adding those personal touches that turn your house into a home. However, one common concern we often hear from our clients is how to hang wall decorations without damaging freshly- painted walls. Well, fret not! We’re here to share some expert tips on how to hang and remove decorations without creating wall damage.
1. Eliminate Wall Damage by Choosing the Right Tools
When it comes to hanging wall decorations, having the right tools is key. We have been in the painting business for years, and we have seen firsthand how using the proper equipment can save you both time and the hassle of repairs later.
2. Command Strips Minimize Wall Damage
These adhesive strips are a game-changer. They come in various sizes and strengths, and they don’t leave any residue behind when removed. Plus, they’re ideal for lightweight items like frames and smaller decor pieces. (And, no, we do not receive anything for promoting them. We’re just fans.) Gently press the strip onto the back of your decoration and press it onto the wall for the recommended duration. When you’re ready to remove it, simply pull the tab down slowly, and it’ll come off cleanly.
3. Picture Hangers & Wall Damage
For slightly heavier items, consider using picture hangers. They are designed to distribute weight evenly and minimize damage to your walls. These usually require a small nail or hook to be driven into the wall. Be sure to use a level to ensure your decoration hangs straight.
4. Wall Damage Minimization: Anchors and Hooks
When you’re dealing with heavier decorations or items like shelves, using anchors and hooks provides additional support. Just ensure you choose the right size for your load-bearing needs. For items that require anchors, drill a hole into the wall and insert the anchor. Then, attach the hook or screw, and you’re ready to hang your decoration.
5. Preparation Is Key to Minimize Wall Damage
At Adam Roe Painting, Inc. firmly believe in the power of preparation. Before you start hanging your decorations, take the time to plan and measure. Nothing is worse than creating extra holes in your beautifully painted walls due to poor planning.
6. Create a Layout
Lay out your decorations on the floor or a table to decide on the arrangement. This will help you visualize how they’ll look on the wall and adjust without damaging your paint.
7. Measure Twice, Hang Once to Reduce the Chances for Wall Damage
Use a measuring tape to ensure your decorations are level and evenly spaced. It might seem tedious, but it will save you from unnecessary repairs later.
