Are you constantly rearranging your wall art, only to be left with unsightly holes or chipped paint? Traditional nails and screws can do a number on your walls, especially if you're a renter or just someone who loves a refresh. Luckily, there's a smart, hassle-free alternative: contact strips. These deceptively simple tools are revolutionizing the way we hang pictures—no drills, no damage, no regrets.
What are Contact strips?
Contact Strips make decorating effortless. Designed with a clever interlocking system, they come in pairs: one adheres to the wall, the other to the back of your frame. Once in place, they snap together with satisfying precision, holding your pictures securely while allowing for clean removal when it's time for a change. No tools required—just a steady hand and a good eye.
Why Choose Contact Strips?
For anyone who dreads the commitment of permanent holes, contact strips offer peace of mind. Contact strips are as flexible as your imagination, letting you mount, reposition, and remove without leaving so much as a scuff.
Contact strips allow you to hang pictures without hammers, nails, or drills. They securely hold frames of various sizes and weights, giving you flexibility without compromising on strength. Also, installation takes just minutes—simply press and align, no fuss involved. Best of all, they remove cleanly with no holes, marks, or sticky residue left behind. If you like to redecorate frequently, their repositionable design makes updates quick and painless. They’re ideal for apartments, dorms, offices, or any space where you want to avoid damaging the walls. No tools, no stress—just flawless decor in a snap.
How to achieve a perfectly hung picture every time:
- Prepare Your Frame: Start with your picture frame. Simply peel off the protective backing from one of the Contact Strips and firmly press it onto the back of your frame. For larger or heavier frames, you'll want to use multiple strips to ensure an even and secure hold.
- Attach to the Wall: Grab the corresponding Contact Strip and peel off its backing. Now, this is where a level comes in handy! While these strips are incredibly forgiving, using a level will ensure your picture hangs perfectly straight. Press the strip firmly onto your desired spot on the wall.
- Interlock and Hang: Once both strips are in place, simply align the strip on your picture frame with the strip on your wall and press them together. You'll feel them interlock, creating a strong and reliable bond.
The Best Part? Damage-Free Removal!
The real beauty lies in their removal. With a simple downward pull of the adhesive tab, the strip stretches and releases from the wall without taking paint with it. It's a little bit of engineering magic that leaves no residue, no mess, and no trace behind.
So whether you're decorating a college dorm, styling your home office, or simply craving a change of scenery, contact strips are the go-to choice. They bring strength, simplicity, and style into perfect alignment—giving you the freedom to showcase your walls exactly the way you want, without the damage you don’t.
