Really?! I don’t believe it! I’ll have to try it myself. If they don’t damage the wall and they actually stay put I’m all for it. Any fear of what would happen to them during an earthquake?

That’s great, especially if you’re renting! I need to find some of those here.

FABULOUS post – perfect for renters and dorm-dwellers!

I’m using them in my office! They work great!

These are good and do work, but for me they only worked once and for the price i didn’t think it was worth it, for some reason they just wouldn’t stick again! Lovely idea though 🙂

I love command strips. I had a landlord years ago that was completely & utterly skeptical & I had to actually take one off the wall and show him it was gonna be okay. They can get a little pricey when you need a lot of them, but they are heaven. I recently used them to hang a key rack, that I made, near our front door. It holds a LOT of heavy key chains and the 3M strips have held up to the weight amazing. The best part was that they allowed me to mount the wood strip flush to the wall without it moving around like it would if it had been on nails or some kind of hook. I was afraid I was going to have to drill holes through my cute new rack to mount it flush so I was thrilled to at how fantastically the 3M strips worked. So glad to know they’ve worked so well for your gallery wall. That’s a lot of saved nail holes!

Been using these for years! So great! They can be a bit pricey if you need a lot of the really big ones for large frames (which they do great with!) A nail would be cheaper, but for not holes or patching up later, it’s worth it. Note of caution, don’t be lazy, like I was once, and pull them straight off the wall or else they will take the paint off. Pull them they way they are intended to be taken off, and you’ll be much happier!

Yes love them! We get them when they are in sale. Warning though – as per Charlene’s comment, you have to be very careful to remove them the right way or they will take off paint (and they can’t be re-used). Be extra careful with the tiny clear hooks (that we use for hanging decorations and fairy lights).

Dont they get the paint off the walls?

I saw on Instagram I think it was that you said you had used them and I was really excited to try them. Low and behold, I found some the very next day at Big Lots for a great price. Although where I was planning to use it was over my bed and they say not to use them over beds. I’m still trying to decide if I could, or if I shouldn’t risk it. I can always use them other places too. I love your gallery wall!

Yes! I’m obsessed with these, and have used them for years. So wonderful and only one has ever taken some paint off when I took it off the wall. They just make it so easy to have amazing gallery walls.

That rug! Swooning. Would you share where it’s from?

I adore the picture hanging strips! I’ve been using them for several year and have been trying to convert all my friends and family. I wish I had used them on my own gallery wall 4 years ago, but unfortunately I didn’t learn about them until after.

I just picked up a pack of the velcro style and one of the picture hook packs at Target this weekend. We have plaster over brick masonry exterior walls and I’m really hesitant to put holes in those walls. In my experience nails and screws pull out easily from masonry and leave big gaping holes.

I’m hoping to get some frames hung on the many empty walls this weekend. I”m curious about how they’ll work on painted wallpaper. I just hung anaglypta wallpaper in the bedroom and painted it. We have a picture rail, but I think the wires might be a bit much for some of the smaller frames and I’m terrified that I’ll ruin my wallpaper.

In college, I used the picture rail to hang things in my first dorm, and actual velcro to hang things from the brick walls in another building.

Hi there! I’ve been using these for a couple of years now and love them (not the price though, they’re expensive here)! I live in Auckland New Zealand and weather changes so many times in a day. I noticed that a few of my strips have come off though & I think it’s due to the constant change in weather conditions. It just means I have to replace a few every now and then. I still love them and would continue using them.

Does anyone have any experience using these on lathe & plaster walls? Our house is sick full of them and trying to hang anything has been a nightmare so far (except for the rooms that have picture rails!)

These could be a great solution!

Love this! This is why I started my Etsy shop, Print (Em), to design paper frames that would work in spaces where you can’t damage/paint/do anything to the walls.

I shared this link on my Facebook page, check it out if you have a moment! https://www.facebook.com/printemframes/timeline
