Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to hang pictures without drilling?
Damage-free strips like Command Picture Hanging Strips hold flat frames flush to the wall and peel off cleanly later, making them ideal for renters. For anything that hangs from a cord or hook, adhesive wall hooks are better. Check the weight rating and follow the surface-prep instructions for a lasting hold.
Do adhesive hooks damage walls?
Quality damage-free hooks and strips are designed to remove cleanly without marking paint, provided you follow the removal instructions and do not exceed the weight limit. Cheaper permanent adhesives can pull paint, so choose a removable brand if you rent or may want to reposition.
What tape should I keep at home?
A strong brown packing tape for parcels and boxes, plus a roll of duct tape for quick repairs, covers most household needs. Look for well-rated rolls with good adhesion, as cheap tape that will not stick or tears unevenly is a false economy.
