Many people these days consider buying decorative paintings when decorating their homes. It's an easy way to save money and add some aesthetic appeal to your living space.
However, while decorative paintings are popular, installing them can be a bit tricky, and some folks find it damaging to their walls. Over time, staring at the same artwork can also become tiresome.
If you're looking for something new and don't want to deal with wall damage, consider the trendy methods of hanging paintings. These methods don't require punching holes in your walls and are more appealing than traditional decorative paintings.
1. Decorative Paintings on the Floor
One unconventional yet stylish approach is to place decorative paintings directly on the floor. This method exudes an artistic and relaxed vibe, and surprisingly, many artists themselves choose this method for their own artwork. It may seem casual, but it can significantly elevate your home's decor.
Select a suitable spot, such as near your sofa, bedside, or balcony. Pick a few of your favorite large paintings, pair them with some green plants, a coffee table, or cozy stools, and effortlessly create an artsy and laid-back corner in your home.
2. Placing Them on Cabinets
Taking inspiration from the floor idea, you can also display decorative paintings on cabinets or tables. This simple approach can enhance the aesthetics of your living space, and both horizontal and vertical placements look great. It's a more interesting alternative to traditional wall hanging.
When placing paintings on cabinets or tables, you have more flexibility in terms of size and arrangement. This allows you to experiment and create a unique and eye-catching setup.
Some might worry that unsecured paintings can be easily damaged, especially if you have rambunctious kids at home. However, fear not, as there is a way to securely mount decorative paintings on your walls without punching holes.
3. Hole-Free Wall Mounting
A convenient method for securely attaching paintings to your walls without the need for drilling holes is by using magic buckles, also known as "no-mark" wall hangers. With these, you can avoid damaging your walls with nails or glue, making it a perfect solution for your valuable artwork.
The process is straightforward. Begin by cleaning the wall surface and then remove the adhesive paper backing from the magic buckle. Place one piece of tape on the back of the painting and another on the corresponding spot on the wall.
Align the two pieces, press firmly, and you're done! The magic buckle employs a clever interlocking weave structure, providing a strong grip.
You can use multiple sets of them together to support different weights, ranging from 1.3 to 7.2 kilograms, depending on the size and weight of your wall art.
When you decide to take down the artwork, it's just as hassle-free. Simply pull the adhesive gently, and the magic buckle will detach from the wall without leaving any unsightly marks or damage.
If you want to add some artistic flair to your home without the hassle of traditional wall-hanging methods, consider these creative alternatives. These approaches offer a fresh and damage-free way to enjoy your decorative paintings.
