recommemdations please

living in rented accomodation and cant use nails to hang pictures :mad: :mad: :mad:

so hoping someone here can give me a recomendation for something that could stick to the wall (hooks or something similiar) so we can hang a few normal sized pictures without ripping off the plaster and as little paint as possible in the process

so anyone any ideas?

thanks guys

regular picture hooks only make 2 small holes in the wall (akin to thumb tacks) that (if noticeable) can be easily filled/painted over afterwards.
Something sticking on is more likely to peel paint off.

yeah i know but the landlords choice strange as it seems so gotta do what he says

greebo is right here - the small picture hooks can easily be taken out again and only leave an un-noticeable pin hole. Some of them only require one pin to hold them up and they hold well. Just be careful putting them up and there should be no problem. Anything self adhesive is definitely going to do more damage and not going to last either.

I wouldn't use those hooks on solid walls though, they are fine on plasterboard but if you can get them into a solid wall they will do damage to the plaster. OP they are the little white hooks with one to three pins in them depending on size. You can get them in hardware shops at great expense or for half nothing in a pound shop - I've never been able to see the difference in quality.
