How to Style Your Walls: Ideas for Hanging Photos, Art, and More
When it comes to making your home truly your own, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. Hanging the right pieces on your walls—whether it’s a mirror, a memory-filled gallery, or even a practical planner—can add personality to any room. This guide from Command™ Brand covers six practical ways to style your walls—no nails, no hassle.
Create a Gallery Wall
Why stop at one frame when you can create an entire statement wall? Gallery walls are the ultimate way to showcase your personality, mixing artworks, photographs, and even decorative objects. A gallery wall works in any room: above the sofa, in a hallway, or in a bedroom. Whether you lean towards symmetry or an eclectic arrangement, Command™ Picture Hanging Strips ensure your art stays secure without damaging your walls.
How to Hang a Picture Gallery: Quick Ideas
- Arrange frames on the floor first before committing to the wall.
- Mix frame sizes and orientations for visual interest.
- Use the frame's natural eye level as a guide for the central piece
- For dark frames, use black Command™ Picture Hanging Strips for a seamless finish.
Hang Large Paintings and Mirrors
Big, bold pieces like oversized paintings or mirrors are game-changers for any space. They bring dimension and style but often come with a weight challenge. To hang a large picture or item like mirror, you need heavy-duty picture hangers like Command™ X-Large Picture Hanging Strips. Designed to handle heavier items (up to 9 kg), these adhesive picture hangers keep your walls pristine while safely holding those eye-catching pieces. Pro tip: When hanging mirrors, use two sets of strips—one at each top corner. Always check the packaging to confirm the combined weight rating before hanging.
Hang Children’s Artwork
Celebrate your children’s creativity with a dedicated gallery wall for their masterpieces. With the help of adhesive strips from Command™, you can create an ever-changing gallery, where you can easily swap out new drawings or crafts. Here are some ideas for displaying their art pieces:
- Group the art pieces by child or by colour palette for a cohesive look.
- Add colourful frames or bunting to turn the display into a feature wall.
- Use a low section of wall so the children can reach and interact with their own display.
Add Letter Boards and Letter Décor
Personalise your home with letter boards for inspiring quotes or add statement initials to walls for a creative touch. These lightweight pieces are a breeze to hang with Command™ Picture Hanging Strips, making it easy to experiment with placements or messages.
The “Home” and the “D&M” letters show a simple yet stylish way to add character to a wall.
Build a Memory Wall
Take a trip down memory lane with a beautifully curated memory wall, featuring photo frames, family keepsakes, and even decals for added flair. Use picture hangers from Command™ Brand to mount each frame individually; select the strip size based on the frame's weight. This allows you to reposition or add frames over time without leaving wall damage.
Evoke nostalgia and warmth with these tips:
- Mix frame finishes like wood and metal for a cosy, unique look.
- Add non-framed elements like small mirrors, pressed flowers, or handwritten notes.
- Use consistent spacing between the photos to prevent a cluttered look.

Hanging clocks and smart organising hacks
Add function and style with wall-mounted clocks, whether it’s a statement timepiece in your living room or a minimalist clock in your home office. Pro tip: For heavier clocks, ensure you’re using the appropriate strip size and weight capacity.
And don’t stop at clocks — Command™ Picture Hanging Strips are also great for home organisation, like mounting letterboxes and hanging utensil holders or towel bars without damaging tiles.
