Hanging Artwork and Decor in Your Apartment 🖼️

Many apartments come equipped with wooden moldings or rails on the walls, which are intended for easily hanging artwork, mirrors, and other decor. When using these moldings, you can adjust the placement height as needed, such as by using fishing line.

For any wall mounting, it’s important to use the appropriate fasteners and tools for the wall material. This will ensure your decorations are securely installed without damaging the walls. Avoid using adhesives or sticky mounts, as these can leave behind residue when removed.

One type of decoration to avoid are puzzle mirrors, as these should not be directly mounted on walls. Instead, consider using a tabletop easel or freestanding frame for this type of decor.

If you have any questions or concerns about safely hanging items in your apartment, be sure to reach out to your property supervisor. They can provide guidance on the approved mounting methods and tools to use.

By following these best practices, you can personalize your student apartment while respecting the condition of the property. Taking the right precautions will help you get your security deposit back when it’s time to move out.
