How to Hang Canvas Prints Without Damaging Your Walls
Share
Hanging canvas prints can instantly transform your space, but drilling holes into walls isn’t always an option—especially for renters. Here’s a guide to safely and securely hang your canvas prints without causing damage.
1. Use Adhesive Strips (Best for Lightweight Prints)
• Command Strips and similar adhesive hooks are great for damage-free hanging.
• Choose the right weight capacity based on your canvas size.
• Clean the wall with rubbing alcohol before applying for a stronger hold.
• Press firmly and wait at least an hour before hanging your print.
2. Try Hook-and-Loop (Velcro) Strips
• Works well for lightweight and medium-sized canvases.
• Allows easy repositioning without removing the adhesive from the wall.
3. Use Removable Wall Hooks
• If your canvas has a wire or sawtooth hanger, removable hooks like 3M Command Hooks work well.
• Choose a hook that supports the weight of your canvas print.
4. Lean Canvas Prints Against the Wall
• Large canvas prints can be placed on shelves, mantels, or directly on the floor for a modern look.
• Works great for oversized artwork and avoids any wall marks.
5. Try a Hanging Rail System
• Install a picture rail along the top of your wall to hang multiple canvases.
• Ideal for renters or those who like to frequently change their wall art.
6. Use Easels or Stands
• Small-to-medium canvas prints can be displayed on decorative easels.
• Perfect for desks, shelves, or tabletops.
Bonus Tip: Testing Placement Before Hanging
Before securing your canvas, use painter’s tape to outline where you want to place your prints. This helps visualize the layout without making marks on the wall.
