Retire Nails

Today, there are quite simple and effective ways thanks to which you can hang a picture, photograph or favorite poster, while not drilling “unfortunate” holes in the wall. We bring to your attention the most popular of them.

Paper clip or clothes hook

This method is best for walls with wallpaper. To fasten a paper clip, you should:

1. At the place of future fastening, make a small horizontal incision.
2. Next, fill this place with superglue and place a paper clip or a clothes hook there.
3. Cover the place of the cut with wallpaper.

Button

This method is very similar to the previous one due to the fact that the base also “hides under the wallpaper”, and the protruding part serves as a carnation, on which the picture is attached.

Spider Hook

You can get this type of fastening in hardware stores. It got its name due to the fact that it has four sharp ends, which are easily attached to the wall, without leaving any traces on it.

Important! This is a very reliable mount, as it can withstand a frame or picture weighing up to 2 kilograms.

Needle

Another very simple but effective way to hang photo frames on the wall. Since the needle is made of steel, it holds the frame well. Its essence is simply to stick a sewing needle into a wall.

Another option is to break off her ear, and use pliers to drive it into the wall surface. Thus, you get a tiny hole that will be imperceptible.

Double-sided tape

This method is best used for drywall walls or decorated with thin paper wallpaper. You just need to stick tape on the edges of the frame and attach it to the wall. This is a great option to stick a photo with a frame on the wall if there is no loop.

Important! A huge disadvantage of this method is that the tape can leave traces. In order to avoid this, when taking a picture or photograph, it should be kept at an angle of 90 degrees to the wall.

Liquid Nails

How to fix the frame with liquid nails? This is a special glue that firmly and reliably connects surfaces:

1. You just need to put them on the back of the frame with small dots, the size of a pea.
2. After that, press the picture to the surface of the wall and hold for about 5-6 minutes.

Important! If the product is heavy, then “liquid nails” should be applied to the entire surface in stripes.

Polymer glue

The advantage of this method is that, unlike other adhesive mixtures, it does not leave greasy marks on the surface. As for the gluing process, it is the same as with “liquid nails”.

Important! In the case of polymer glue, the picture after gluing to the wall should be supported with something and left for a day.

Wine cork

To do this, cut a cork from wine into small circles, and then glue it to the wall using quick-drying glue. Next, a carnation is squeezed into this cork, on which it will be possible to hang a photo frame.

Molding or ceiling skirting

This method is suitable for those who want to hang a large number of paintings and photographs on the wall. To do this, you need to stick molding on the wall surface. A strong fishing line is attached to it, on which it will already be possible to hang pictures.

Modern mounting systems

Hanging photo frames on the walls of your home without drilling is not a problem now and there are many ways. Novelties in the field of construction work and interior design appear almost daily. This applies even to such trifles as mounting pictures and photographs. To date, the most popular adhesive clasps for Command pictures. This is a specially designed Velcro, on which the paintings are attached, while not leaving marks on the wall.

Important! These fasteners are suitable for perfectly smooth, not textured surfaces.

The main advantages over nails:

• They do not require titanic physical efforts to attach, so even a child can hang a photo frame with clasps.
• Due to the fact that they do not leave marks on the wall, you can move a picture or other decorative product around the entire perimeter of the room.
• The removal process from the wall takes a matter of seconds.

Important! These fasteners cannot be used in the following cases:

• On delicate and very thin wallpaper. This is due to the fact that the paper simply can not withstand the weight of the picture.
• On vinyl wallpaper.
• Over the head of the bed.
• It is not recommended to cling to them expensive or antique products.

It should also be taken into account that the quality of fastening is significantly deteriorated at extreme temperatures.

Types of Clasps

Depending on the color of the walls and frames, there are white and black fasteners. As for the size and the required number of sets, you should weigh the product. After that, using a special table, store employees will help you choose exactly those fasteners that fit your decorative elements.

How to glue picture clasps?

• First, the wall and the back of the frame must be cleaned and degreased with alcohol.
• Separate the strips from each other along the perforation line.
• Two strips should be connected with Velcro inward, firmly pressing each other. If you do it right, you will hear a characteristic click.
• Remove the protective strip on one side, position the clasp on the back of the frame.

Important! In order for the paintings on the wall to hold firmly and securely, you should, depending on the weight, purchase one or more sets and arrange them as follows:

1. One pack. It can be mounted on the upper center of the frame.
2. Two sets. They should also be fixed in the upper part of the frame, only in different angles.
3. Four sets. The first two sets should be arranged as described in the previous paragraph, and the bottom two should be approximately ⅔ part of the frame from the top.

• Remove the remaining protective strips and fix the frame to the wall. Press it for 30-60 seconds.
• Next, remove the frame from the wall. This must be done by lifting it from the bottom up.
• Press the clasps with your thumbs for 30-60 seconds.
• Leave the strip for 1 hour. During this time, it should adhere well, after which you can hang the frame on the wall.

Delete frame without traces

These fasteners are made so that you can change the placement of paintings. In order to remove the frame carefully - so that there are no traces on the surface, you must perform the following steps:

• Take a picture by pulling the bottom towards the top.

Important! Do not pull the strip toward you, as it can break.

• Slowly pull the tab down along the wall. Do this until it peels off the surface.

Custom ways to mount frames

In addition to standard and modern, there are also quite original methods of fastening frames that are not inferior to the previous ones in strength, while they can significantly complement and make bright accents in the overall design.

Original rail

This design consists of one main element - rails from the cornice for curtains. As additional elements use movable hooks. A nylon thread of the required length is attached to them, at the end of which you can fix any decorative element.

Important! The advantage of this method is that if you want, you can change the pictures in places, while adjusting their height.

Using the board

This is a rather bold decision, which consists in placing the images in such a way as to demonstrate some sequence, cycle or chronology. In this case, the picture on the board can be fixed in absolutely any way.

Important! When choosing this method of fastening, it should be borne in mind that the board should significantly differ from the overall color scheme of the interior.

Satin ribbon

In this case, the tape is folded in half and fastened with fasteners or “liquid nails” to the wall. Two hooks should be attached to the back of the frames so that they can be hung on the tape. The length of the tape should be selected, depending on the future number of songs that will be involved.

How can I put frames on the wall?

In addition to a solid mount, the location of paintings and photographs on the wall is of great importance in shaping the overall interior design. To date, the following methods are the most popular.

Important! Depending on the size of the frames, their filling and the overall picture on the wall will depend.

Single horizontal line

This option is most appropriate for rooms with high ceilings and regular geometric shapes.

Important! With a horizontal arrangement, it is best to use frames of the same size.

Rows of Frames

This method involves the presence of a large number of small frames of the same size placed in several rows. For example, several lines of elements are located at the same distance from each other, thus visually forming a kind of wall-mounted carpet of frames.

Important! In this option, multi-colored frames will look very interesting.

Chaos and order

The uneven distribution of frames of different sizes and colors will become a bright accent on the wall. Despite the fact that “chaos” is created, you need to carefully consider where a picture or photograph will hang.

Important! In this design method, you should clearly limit the place where the frames will be placed.

Composition with a picture

In case you already have a large reproduction available, but when located on the wall surface, the picture is blurred and lost in the general atmosphere of the interior, you can additionally draw attention to it by making a competent accent. A great option is to hang additional frames on the wall around the reproduction. To do this, you should consider the style, storyline and color scheme of the canvas.

Corner Frames

In order to decorate the corners, while not spending a lot of physical effort and money, you can use the framework. Thus, such a “boring” corner will gain a bright accent and will “play” in a completely new way.

How can I fill out the framework?

• Fabric cloths;
• Herbaria
