You can attach decorations using a variety of methods, depending on the surface, the weight of the decoration, and how permanent you want the attachment to be. Here are some common options:
-
Tape: Decorative tape, like washi tape, can be used for lightweight items and can also add an aesthetic touch. House Beautiful mentions that decorative tape can act as an accent.
-
Adhesive Strips: These are a good option for hanging pictures or posters without damaging walls. They come in various sizes and weight capacities.
-
Poster Putty/Tack: This is ideal for lightweight paper decorations and posters. It's reusable and generally doesn't damage surfaces, although it may leave a slight residue.
-
Adhesive Hooks: Great for hanging heavier decorations, especially when you want to avoid nails. Choose hooks with the appropriate weight rating for your decoration.
-
Hook-and-Loop Tape (Velcro): Useful for attaching decorations that you might want to remove and reattach easily. One side adheres to the decoration, and the other to the surface.
-
Using Furniture: Leaning decorations against walls on top of shelves or desks avoids needing to attach anything to the wall at all!
