Hanging Metal Decor

Wondering how to hang your new metal decor?

There are so many different places our customers like to hang their metal decor pieces, therefore fitting requirements are specific to each circumstance.  Below you will find a few suggestions to help you navigate the process and achieve a stunning display that suits your unique space and style.

 

Before You Get Started

If you are not confident in your DIY skills or have concerns about the installation of your metal decor, don't hesitate to seek professional assistance to ensure a stress-free and successful outcome.

Special Consideration for Nurseries and Bedrooms - When deciding where to hang metal wall art in nurseries or bedrooms, take extra care to ensure it's totally secure and safe from being accidentally knocked or falling onto cribs or beds. Safety should be the priority in these areas to create a secure and beautiful environment for you and your little ones.

 

Hanging Options

1. Nails or Screws

For lighter pieces of metal decor, opt for small finishing nails or picture hanging nails with minimal nail heads to maintain a neat and unobtrusive look.

For heavier items, it's advisable to use slightly larger nails or screws to ensure a secure and reliable hold.

Ideally, if you can identify wall studs in your desired hanging location, that's the optimal choice. However, in cases where a stud isn't available, using wall anchors is a smart solution to enhance stability and support.

To ensure a secure attachment to surfaces like brick or concrete for outdoor installations of metal decor, consider using masonry bits or screws.

 

2. Mounting Magnets

Mounting magnets offer exceptional durability indoors or outdoors offering a sleek and minimalist aesthetic in contrast to traditional nails and screws.  These also allow for effortless interchangeability with other pieces, making it especially convenient for seasonal decor updates. 

Simply secure the magnet by screwing it in, then effortlessly attach your metal decor for a steadfast and enduring grip.

It's important to note that we do not recommend the use of mounting magnets to hang metal decor above beds or cribs, where additional safety precautions should be taken. Additionally, exercise discretion when using mounting magnets in outdoor settings prone to high winds.

3. Mounting Tape

Command Strips and Double Sided Mounting Tape offer hassle-free options for securely hanging metal decor, particularly suited for smaller and lighter pieces. These adhesive solutions are quick and easy to apply, eliminating the need for nails or screws. However, it's essential to be aware that they can create a strong, semi-permanent bond between your metal decor and the chosen surface, so precise placement is crucial.

 

For larger or heavier pieces, we recommend exploring alternative hanging methods to ensure a safe and lasting display.

 

4. Monkey Hooks

Monkey Hooks are a versatile and convenient solution for hanging metal decor effortlessly. These lightweight, steel wire hooks can securely support pieces of up to 50 lbs without the need for any specialized tools. Installation is a breeze, taking just seconds to complete, and they leave minimal wall damage. Whether you're looking to showcase your metal art indoors or outdoors, Monkey Hooks make the process quick, straightforward, and hassle-free, allowing you to enjoy your stunning decor in no time.

 

5. Wreath Hangers

Hanging metal decor on doors can be a creative and versatile way to add a touch of style to your living spaces. Utilizing wreath hangers or hooks designed for doors can make the process effortless and prevent any damage. Consider the weight of your metal decor, and if necessary, use additional support to guarantee a stable and eye-catching presentation that enhances your door's appeal.
