Frequently asked questions
How can I hang prints without damaging the wall?
Removable adhesive strips, poster putty and washi tape all work well for lightweight prints, which makes them a great choice for renters and dorms.
How many prints do I need for a gallery wall?
Five to nine pieces covers an average wall. Collage kits with dozens of pieces are better for covering an entire wall.
Do I need frames for art prints?
Not always. Unframed prints look great with tape or clips, but inexpensive frames give a more finished look.
How can I decorate my walls for cheap?
Buy a printable or print set, use matching budget frames and group them as a gallery wall for a high impact, low cost look.
