Types Of Picture Hanging Systems For Your Décor


Depending on your decorating needs and skills you may be considering different options for hanging pictures and art on the walls. There are several different traditional types of fixed hooks all with their own advantages and disadvantages and then there is a complete picture hanging system for a professional look.



Firstly, the different types of picture hanging hooks used are dependent on the size and weight of your artwork. A large heavier picture needs to be securely attached to the wall, and likewise leaving a large hole in the wall with an anchor hook for a small picture is not advisable.

Four common types of picture hanging hooks


Adhesive tape and hooks


For many people command hooks and tape are a common first go to item when hanging pictures quickly and relatively easily. Command hooks and tape do not require holes in the wall and come in different sizes for different weight pictures. As there are no holes in the wall people do feel they can easily move their pictures around, however no matter how hard you try adhesive hooks and tape always leave damage to the walls. They are strong to hold up lighter frames but as they attach this strength to the wall they do pull off paint when taken down.

Picture hooks and nails


The traditional method of picture hooks and nails is what many people fist think of when hanging pictures and art. While they are designed to hold your picture and give a professional finish, they do require accurate measuring and drilling/ screwing holes into the wall. Picture hooks can also rust and if hanging larger artworks you will need to screw into a stud.  Leaving a hold in your wall when the artwork isn’t aligned properly, or you wish to change artworks and placement means picture hooks are best suited to pictures you don’t wish to change.

Wall anchors


When considering wall anchors use good quality ones from the hardware store. Wall anchors will hold a heavier weight but require a drill hole to be installed. Wall anchors leave nigger holes in the wall than picture hooks, this is a consideration to make when deciding on how to hang your pictures.

Monkey Hooks


Monkey hooks are hook like pieces of wire you insert into your wall, depending on your wall they may need a drill hole. Monkey wires hook around inside and leave a little hanger outside to hold your picture. Monkey hooks can’t be used where they are pipes or obstructions behind the wall.
After looking at the pros and cons of four of the most popular picture hanging options, one of the best alternatives you may not have considered is a picture hanging system.

Looking for a Traditional Picture Rail System?

Would it be fair to say that Australia is renovation-crazy? I think it would! According to official sources like Master Builders Australia, we spend around $8 billion a year renovating our homes.

With TV shows like The Block attracting over a million viewers, home renovating is big business and many people are now choosing this option rather than buying a new home. In fact, the number of new builds is falling.

The most common makeovers are in the living area, the kitchen and bathrooms. Outdoors, we spend up big on pools, pergolas, patio and new fencing.

Traditional Picture Rail System

Even those buying homes are looking for something more traditional to renovate, like the highly sought-after Queenslander with its polished timber floors, VJ walls, high ceilings and verandas. The secret to successfully renovating these is finding the right fixtures and fittings to maintain authenticity whilst adding the necessary mod cons.



The good news is that if the home is missing those authentic touches like French doors, fretwork and picture rails, they are relatively easy to come by. You’ll find plenty advertised online or at your local salvage yard. In addition, you can buy some of these features new from good hardware stores.

Take the picture rail, for example. These are now available to buy and, even better, you can get the correct picture hanging system to go with them. Gallery System UK offers a traditional picture rail system that looks amazing and works like a charm.

Traditional Art Hanging System

A traditional art hanging system includes solid brass or stainless steel hooks, which attach to the rail. Then you just slide on the hangers – in clear tape or stainless steel cable – and ass the adjustable hooks. It couldn’t be easier!

Developed after many years of careful research, this system successfully combines traditional authenticity with modern functionality. It will not only add to the pleasure of living in your beautiful home but also add value if and when you decide to sell.

How a Photo Hanging System will Protect Your Investment

Photography may be the new kid on the block as far as art investments go, but it’s rapidly gaining momentum. Photography is seen by many collectors as more accessible, more relevant and more easily translated.

Even just a couple of years ago, The Guardian newspaper in the UK reported that wealthy investors were shunning paintings in favour of photography. An example would be a piece by Australian photographer Peter Lik which reportedly sold for $6.5 million.

Photographs by artists such as Man Ray are extremely collectible, with his piece, Noire et Blanche -taken in 1926 – fetching €2,688,750 in 2017.



Of course, you don’t have to be a millionaire to appreciate photography as an art form, nor to start collecting it. There are some amazing new photographic artists out there – you may even be one yourself!

Photo Hanging System

However, when buying any form of artwork for investment (and enjoyment), it’s crucial to care for it properly. Naturally, you wish to display the pieces, so the best advice is to buy a photo hanging system. These are now quite affordable and incredibly easy to install. Choose a wall that is not in direct sunlight as UV will damage photographs.

This gallery hanging system is fixed using wall anchors and screws, so you won’t be left with unsightly damage to your walls. The track is the only part of the system that attaches to the wall; the picture hangers slide into the track, and the hooks go on the hangers.

Gallery Hanging System

When hanging your pieces, it’s a great idea to lay them out carefully on the floor in front of the wall to decide how you want them displayed. Move the pieces around until you’re happy with the layout and then rearrange the hangers and hooks to suit.

It really is very fast and easy and will show off your new collection to its very best advantage.

Mad on Renovating? Check Out the Picture Rail System


Australians have gone renovation crazy! Whether it’s prompted by the many TV reno shows, like The Block, or we’re choosing to improve our existing homes rather than move, the effect is the same. We just love doing up older homes.

One of the favourite types of home to renovate is the traditional Queenslander, with its high ceilings, polished timber floors, French doors and ornate fretwork. Many home-owners try and keep these gorgeous properties as original as possible which means sourcing unusual fittings and materials.

Picture Rail System

As a result, the old picture rail system has made a welcome comeback, and Gallery System UK has all the accessories you need to use it.

Picture rail systems featured extensively in early European buildings and older homes in Australia. Traditionally moulded from plaster, they can also be made in wood. The rail forms a lip over which you hang a sturdy hook. Traditionally, these were made from solid brass and are still available, as well as stainless steel hooks for a more modern look.



Professional picture hangers are then attached to the hooks. These come in a couple of different designs, with either on-trend stainless steel cable or clear tape for ‘invisible’ hanging. With the hangers in place, it’s simply a case of adding your picture hooks. These slide onto the hangers and may be a push-button or Allen key design.

Professional Picture Hangers

It takes just minutes to put the system in place and then you’re ready to start hanging your favourite paintings, drawings and photographs. With no need for a hammer or those annoying little nails that always break, just create the space you need by moving the hangers left or right.

There are many advantages to using apicture rail system, the biggest being the speed at which you can arrange – and rearrange – your collection. There’s are no nails to worry about and, consequently, no need to repair holes in the plaster.
