There are several ways to incorporate wall art into apartment design without damaging walls, such as:
1. Use Command Strips: Command Strips are adhesive strips that can be easily attached to walls and can hold lightweight frames and artwork. They are available in various sizes and can be removed without leaving any residue or damaging the walls.
2. Lean artwork against walls: Instead of hanging artwork, lean it against the wall on shelves, mantels, or bookcases. This creates a casual and eclectic look while avoiding any damage to the walls.
3. Utilize floor-standing artwork: Large, freestanding artwork or room dividers can be placed against walls to add visual interest without requiring any attachment to the walls.
4. Create a gallery wall on a large piece of plywood: Mount multiple frames or small artworks on a large piece of plywood and lean it against the wall. This provides the gallery wall effect without damaging the apartment walls.
5. Make use of decorative screens: Decorative screens or room dividers can be an artistic and functional way to enhance your apartment's design. These can be placed in front of walls to add visual interest or can be used as a backdrop for other artwork.
6. Use tension rods for hanging textiles: If you enjoy textile art such as tapestries or fabric panels, tension rods can be placed between walls to create a non-permanent hanging solution.
7. Hang artwork on furniture: Rather than hanging artwork on walls, hang it on furniture like cabinets, dressers, or sideboards. This not only protects your walls but also adds a unique and layered look to your apartment design.
Remember to always check with your landlord or review your lease agreement to ensure you are following any guidelines or restrictions related to hanging or attaching items to walls in your apartment.
