Whether you're creating a display in a commercial space, installing a central message board in a community center, or planning a photo wall in your home, reducing the number of holes and blemishes is a must. Here are three different ways to plan your system.

  • Tape the frame inserts to the wall to finalize your display. An arrangement you like in your head might be one you decide isn't quite right for your living room. Instead of picturing it in your head and improvising as you go, which might leave you changing your mind and changing where the nails end up, tape up the inserts from your frames. This lets you rearrange and change your mind without any damage and gives you a better idea of what the final product will look like.
  • Use an adjustable suspension system. The best way to minimize wall damage is to avoid it altogether. Use a suspension or wire system so the artwork hands from a grid or wire system instead of the wall. Not only does this mean you can you the same base arrangement that needs just a one-time installation, you can rearrange the artwork hanging from the system without any risk of wall damage at all.
  • Use laser tools to ensure level hanging for heavier art. Not all pieces of art can be hung from a central wire with one point of contact, but that increases the risk of crooked art. Use laser guiding levels to make sure your harnesses or screws are level. Also, if you're using two points of contact because of the art's weight, make sure you get hardware that protects the wall from wear and tear and reduce the risk of it falling.

Rearranging art displays is a great way to incorporate new photos or pieces, and it shouldn't require repair work between changes. Go to Systematic Art for the tools to hang your art and keep your walls safe.
