Putting pictures on the wall without drilling/hammering/holes.

I’m sure I’ve seen an ad for something that sticks pictures on the wall. Or did I dream it?
Not like blu tac. For proper pictures in frames.

Any ideas?

I use velcro stickers. I can't remember what they are called but you can get them on amazon.

They are really strong too so you can put quite big pictures up with them.

I used Command picture hanging strips. Have worked well but I haven't tried removing them yet! Cheapest to buy in bulk off Amazon but local hardware shop has them as well.

I have used Command before and they were good but did take paint off the wall when we moved out (luckily the landlord didn’t seem to notice...)

Interested in this thread?

I’ve got the command strips on a large (9 photo) frame, our pin board and a couple of smaller pictures. They’ve been there 2 years and haven’t fallen off yet. We had the little ones for some fairy lights in the old house and although most came off ok a couple did take some paint with them.

I used these on a wall joined to the house next door. (Modern semi)
We went away over the cold easter break and turned the heating off. Next door was still there with their heating on.
All the pictures fell off. I thought id been very clever and made a fab gallery wall with no drilling. Luckily the expensively framed pictures didnt break but all my matalan frames were in pieces.
The frames that were on the other walls with no variances of heat are fine.
That was 6 months ago and im still planning to get the drill out Confused

Command velcro strips are great, we’ve got them all over.
Also used the hook version for fairy lights and hanging Christmas card lines up last year. Brilliant invention!

Just use the right size and follow the instructions. I’ve just redecorated DS’s room and had no issues peeling them off beforehand and no paint came off either.
