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.
