3 Easy, Damage-Free Ways to Display Art Prints

You’ve found the perfect art print (or five) to complete your space, but there’s one tiny problem—whether you’re renting or just don’t want to commit to a hammer and nails, you need a damage-free way to display your art! Lucky for you, we've rounded up 3 of the best and totally non-destructive ways to show off those beautiful prints without turning your walls into Swiss cheese. Let’s get hanging!

1. Command Strips: The MVP of Wall Decor

Let’s kick things off with the king of damage-free hanging—Command Strips. These little guys are a renter’s dream! They come in all sizes, so whether you’re hanging a small postcard-sized print or a larger statement piece, Command Strips have your back. Plus, when you’re ready for a change, they come off clean with no residue.

Pro Tip: Make sure your walls are clean and dry before applying the strips for the best hold. You don’t want your art taking a nosedive in the middle of the night!

2. Lean It, Don’t Hang It

Who says art has to be hung at all? Leaning prints against a wall is a trendy, laid-back way to display your art. Try placing larger prints on the floor or smaller ones on shelves or mantelpieces. This casual look adds a cool, effortless vibe to your decor and lets you move things around easily whenever the mood strikes.

Style Idea: Layer a few prints together in varying sizes for a chic, gallery-style look without the commitment.

3. Picture Ledges: Stylish and Functional

Picture ledges are sleek, easy to install, and make switching out prints a breeze. These narrow shelves allow you to display multiple prints and update your look whenever you like—no need to punch more holes in the wall!

Bonus: Add plants or books for an extra design touch.MOSSLANDA Picture ledge, oak effect, 55 cmIKEA MOSSLANDA picture ledge
