You don’t have to be a professional curator to use the same picture- or art-hanging system of many museums and art galleries.
Picture rails or cable hanging systems, usually attached high on a wall at or near the ceiling, are elegant, clean, strong and flexible options that allow even beginner decorators to accomplish any art- or picture-hanging task without damaging walls.
All of the features that professional curators like about these systems are the same benefits that make them appealing to homeowners and renters, as well as owners, managers and tenants in commercial and office spaces.
First, they do the job. Museum art hanging systems suspend pictures and art better than most other systems. Like managers of museums and art galleries, residential or commercial users can trust that these systems will hang nearly anything without failing.
Second, they look nice. Want to kick up the aesthetics of any space? Make it look like a museum or art gallery, with the same clean, organized system that the professionals employ.
Third, these systems allow for changes without adding holes or adhesive marks to walls. To change the look, simply adjust the rail-based hangers, or the length of wire or fine-chain attached to high bases. This also makes for easy moving of pictures and art around a room, or to different rooms, to instantly freshen a look.
Curators know these secrets. Now, these hanging systems can add the same benefits outside of galleries and museums.
