If you live in an apartment or rented home, then you know the dreaded task of trying to hang a painting without nails. You may think a small hole in the wall won’t attract any attention, but landlords will scour your apartment looking for any reason to not give your security deposit back. You can avoid the drama by using a few non-invasive methods. Here are three tips for people looking to hang a painting without holes in the wall.
Hang Artwork Without Making A Hole in the Wall
Using a Command Hook
Using Poster Tack
Using a Console Table
When in doubt, why hang at all? Console tables are narrow tables designed to sit against a wall. They’re most commonly used to line hallways and sit underneath paintings. They’ve recently made a comeback due to the popularity of mudrooms and entryways by DIYers, so you can be sure to find a table that suits your budget. With a console table, you can set picture frames on top or lean a larger portrait against the wall. The latter is trending among interior designers, as it offers a casual look. This option works great for those who are operating with limited space, as console tables are so narrow. You could even add to your in house storage in the process!

Thinking Outside of the Box (or Your Cramped Apartment)
Hanging up artwork without the use of nails or holes in the wall can be a delicate act. Consider investing in some filler in case you do decide to use nails. You can also hang up a shelf instead and put multiple pieces on it, rather than hanging them up individually. This will minimize the number of holes in the wall. You can even get creative and hang things on the ceiling. If your landlord looks up there, then he clearly wasn’t planning on giving your security deposit back anyway.
