4 ‘No Nails’ Decor Ideas
Washi Tape
You can mix and match, and if you ever get sick of one of your ‘frames,’ just peel the tape back and try another!
Command Strips
Another invention from the renting gods for us. If you’ve never tried these, they actually work, you guys. For real. You have to use them properly – meaning put the corresponding side on the wall, and when you go to remove, pull on the tab, keeping it as close to the wall as possible. No damage. Perfection! Kind of a great way to hang light artwork, like old maps – all while saving on frames!
And if you want to use Command hooks, not just the strips, you can hang frames without losing any sleep over the potential havoc being mad eon your walls. There will be no havoc.
Sticky Tack
Yes, that’s the scientific term. Seriously, though, go back to your good ol’ dorm days and start making little balls of sticky tack to put on the back of your…. photos! Yes, that’s right. JUST like in College! Except… way cooler…
Get really grown up about it and put it above your mantle. I mean, what’s more grown up than a big, impressive piece of art above your mantle?

Command strips & hooks are seriously the best! I've actually swapped out some of the glass in my larger frames for plexi glass which is a lot lighter & it makes them easy to use with the command hooks.
This a great post, I'm a fan of the leaning of things. And just recently I made used a shadow frame to display tickets of things I'd been to (shown on my blog http://the29challenge.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/new-activity-18-ive-got-ticket-to-ride.html). My friend has hers all framed on her wall, maybe I could use the sticky tack way to display the rest of my tickets.
