Did you know that those professional art hanging systems they use in galleries and museums are now available for home use? It’s revolutionising how we decorate our homes and helping to create more positive, creative households.
When you talk to those already using these systems they clearly love them. The most popular features seem to be the Gallery System adjustable hooks and picture rail hanging hooks. You might be wondering why a hook could be so exciting, so I’ll explain.
Gallery System Adjustable Hooks
The system is very simple; you fix the track to the wall, add the hangers and then slide on the hooks. Some of the hooks are push-and-slide, others use an Allen key. The point is, whenever you want to move your art display around, you just slide the hooks into their new position, lock them in place and you’re done. One hook can hold up to around 15kg.
Householders surveyed said whilst the initial cost was greater than buying a hammer and nails, it worked out in the long-term because the walls don’t require constant patching and painting. They said it was also worth the investment as the system was stress-free.
One survey participant said the art hanging system actually clinched the deal when they were selling their home. The buyer had an extensive art collection and couldn’t believe his luck in getting one of these great systems.
Picture Rail Hanging Hooks
The picture rail hanging hooks are really popular with the many homeowners renovating old Queenslanders. The picture rail was an integral part of these old homes and, whilst you can make a rail, it’s hard to find the right fittings. Picture rail hanging hooks simply hook over the rail and away you go; they even come in traditional brass!
Featuring art in your home is meant to be a pleasure so any system that makes hanging it easier has got to be a winner!
