I recently hung up a gallery wall in my girls’ bedroom and didn’t want to damage my walls while doing it. Find out how I quickly and easily hung up their art without using nails on our textured walls!

How to hang art and pictures without using nails and damage free. Even on textured walls!

I honestly stink at hanging pictures and art on walls and it drives my husband bananas. I am the girl who “eyeballs” it and will nail several holes before getting the “perfect” spot. Do you relate to this? I am pretty sure I am not the only woman out there who does this too! But this time around, when making an art gallery wall for my girls’ bedroom refresh, I wanted to find the best way to hang pictures without using nails and do it damage-free.

So in my search, I was so excited to find a product that allows you to hang pictures, damage-free and that works on textured walls too. The product that I am speaking of is by no other than the king of all damage-free…..Command!

Using the Command picture hanging strips are the perfect way to hang your pictures and art without damaging your walls or using nails.

I am sure many of you have heard of Command. You basically can’t go through Christmas without using one of their products. I love their command hooks and use them every year to hang my stockings and wreaths, but never thought to use them for hanging wall art or pictures!

What the heck have I been waiting for?

Clearly Command knew that there was a market out there for women like me who are running around with hammers, making way too many holes in walls. I felt like they developed this product specifically for me!

So I gave it a shot and let me tell you, it worked! And not only did it work, but it’s been 2 months since putting up that gallery wall and the art has not budged one bit! And I also did not damage my walls or create any holes in the process. Hallelujah!
