Ever wonder how people hang things on their walls so effortlessly? \u00a0Check out this easy way to hang heavy decor and refresh your wall decor!<\/em><\/p>\n

Hint: It’s not as effortless as it seems, but we will tell you how we’ve figured out how to make it a lot easier!<\/p>\n

It’s true. \u00a0I change my wall decor A LOT! \u00a0Well, actually just one main, gallery wall. \u00a0Since our home is so open, we don’t have a lot of big walls. \u00a0The large gallery wall in our family room is one of my favorite places to decorate and I love switching it up for the season!<\/p>\n

Throughout the rest of our home, there are quite a few very,\u00a0very heavy<\/em> pieces hanging on our walls. \u00a0I am often asked how we get these big salvage pieces hung on the wall, so today’s blog post is all about trying to make that a little easier for you!<\/p>\n

Anytime you are hanging big pieces on the wall, it’s going to require a little skill and a lot of patience. \u00a0Oh, and some extra muscle too. \u00a0Thankfully, my guy has all of that!<\/p>\n

The extra effort is always worth it, though<\/strong>. \u00a0I love how large architectural salvage pieces add so much character and interest to a space.<\/p>\n

Tip: You can add a lot of old charm and character, even to a new build, by using architectural salvage details throughout your spaces!<\/i><\/p>\n

I have the vision, but not the skill (or the muscle, for that matter. \u00a0Some of these pieces are truly so heavy and definitely a two-person job!)<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I married someone who loves me enough to patiently help me, even when I change my mind or want to switch things around! \u00a0I’m going to turn the “how-to” portion of this post over to the brains and brawn behind how we hang heavy decor on our walls!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Robb:\u00a0<\/strong> So Robyn & I have a long and complicated relationship with hanging things on the wall.\u00a0 Usually we meet in the middle for a “somewhat complicated” (rather than an impossible!) solution.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, there is a solution that I have come to love & use it whenever I can.\u00a0 And it really is so easy, anyone can do it!<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Could Go Wrong?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Whenever we decide to hang something on the wall, there are at least four things to consider:<\/p>\n
