Placing art on the walls of your home can be one of the most fun parts of decorating. Wall art certainly adds color, texture and excitement to rooms. What can make this task un-fun is the work that must take place to get the art on the actual wall. I’m talking about the hammering of nails, drilling of screws and the inevitable holes that accumulate in your walls over time.

Most people have been to art museums and galleries multiple times and seen the amazing transformation that occurs between exhibits.  Have you ever thought about giving your own home the chance to transform as easily?

Art gallery hanging systems, sometimes called museum hanging wall systems, come in a variety of types to suit any art needs or your home’s look.

Most systems offer the option of a track that can be mounted either on the ceiling or at any location on the wall. Connected to that track are either rods or cables, and on the rods and cables are hooks. The rods and cables can move along the track at any position, and as many hooks as you want can be placed on the rods or cables (factoring in weight, of course).

If you’re worried about having a bunch of metal tracks around your walls, don’t! Systems now come in a variety of finishes, can be made to look like wood molding, and can even be painted the wall color to disguise the system.

Priced usually for 6.5′ or 7′ lengths, most systems run anywhere from $17 – $30 per length, plus rods, cables and hooks.

While it might not be for everyone, a wall hanging system can give some homeowners the ability to frequently and flexibly interchange their art as often and as easily as they want, without putting tons of nail holes in the walls! It’s a great option for walls made of difficult material, like concrete or brick. It could even allow your home to act as an art gallery for parties and events!
