How to Hang Anything on Your Walls (Without Wrecking Them)

Hanging pictures and shelves shouldn’t feel like a gamble. Whether you rent or own, here’s how to do it right:

🪛 1. Find a Stud

Use a stud finder or tap the wall and listen for a solid thud. That’s your anchor point for heavier items.

🔩 2. Use the Right Hardware

Lightweight? Small nails or adhesive hooks. Medium? Plastic anchors. Heavy mirrors or shelves? Toggle bolts or screws into studs.

📐 3. Measure Twice

Before you drill, measure and mark exactly where you want it. Use a level so things don’t end up crooked.

🎯 4. Go Slow

Drill or hammer carefully to avoid cracking plaster or drywall.

🛑 5. Know When to Call Us

Mounting a TV or big shelf? That’s when it pays to have a pro handle it safely.
