Have you ever wondered how to hang a painting on the wall after purchasing it?
Framed works or works painted on canvas and covered with a wooden frame are usually hung on the wall by hooks.
However, if you live in a rented apartment, you may have to keep the walls as clean as possible.

In this issue, we will introduce such convenient tools that "do not make holes in the wall" or "require minimal holes" from a hundred-yen store near you!

(1) 3-pin mini hook (Celia)

Load capacity: 5kg / 7kg
Holes: Smaller than thumbtacks
Plasterboard, plywood
Places where it cannot be attached: Concrete, bricks, tiles, plaster, etc.

These hooks have the highest load capacity of all the hooks available at hundred-yen stores.
Many framed prints and drawings on paper will be sufficient for this hook.
For works on canvas, the load capacity is sufficient for medium-sized works.
Also, by lifting the head of the pin with a fingernail, the hook can be used again, thus reducing the waste of resources.

②One push pin hook (Celia)

Load capacity: 2kg
Hole size: smaller than thumbtack
Installation location: For plasterboard only
Locations where it cannot be attached: Brittle walls such as wood, plywood, and plaster such as pillars and duckboards.

The 3-pin hook requires three pins to be inserted at an angle, which is a bit tricky.
In comparison, this product can be attached with a single push. This is a very convenient product because anyone can easily and instantly attach it.

③Pin hook cross type (Daiso)

Load capacity: 5 kg
Hole size: smaller than thumbtack
Attachable places: Plasterboard, plywood
Plasterboard, plywood, concrete, brick, tile, plaster, etc.

These are almost the same specifications as Celia's 3-pin hooks.
As a minor point, the hook part is longer than that of Celia's, so it is easier to use. If you choose a hook with sufficient load capacity, Daiso is the best choice.

4) Clear pin hook (Daiso)

Load capacity: 1kg
Hole size: About the same as thumbtacks
Plasterboard, wood such as pillars and duckboards, printed plywood
Places where it cannot be attached: Concrete, tiles, sound-absorbing boards

This is a general pin hook.
It can be mounted on wood, so choose one that fits the character of your home.

How to use picture rails instead of hooks

Picture rails are rails that attach to walls or ceilings, allowing you to decorate without drilling pin holes in the wall. It is similar in construction to a curtain rail.
A picture rail consists of several parts. It consists of five parts: the rail itself, hooks called runners that are placed inside the rail to hook wires, stoppers to block the ends of the rail, wires to hang on the hooks, and hooks for hanging artwork to be attached to the wires.

When installing a new picture rail, we recommend that you have a professional contractor check the base of the wall before installation.
However, some products are easy to install on plasterboard, so please refer to the following links for further information. They are also available at familiar furniture stores such as Nitori. Please pay attention to the load capacity when choosing.

Auxiliary products to fix "bowing" of artwork

When using a frame strap or hanger plate, the work may "bow". This is often not a problem for small works, but for large works, it may affect the appearance of the work. To prevent this, a rubber band or similar material can be attached to the bottom of the back of the work to keep it oriented parallel to the wall. A product called "universal packing" is also useful for fine-tuning the gap. Please note that this product needs to be glued with tape or other adhesive.
Since the purpose of this product is to provide height, a piece of wood or other object with a certain degree of rigidity can be substituted for the above products.
