This narrow wall in my daughter’s bedroom was begging for attention. It looked bare and unfinished compared to the rest of the room. Although it’s a small wall space, it was a challenging one to style. The wall is narrow, sandwiched between two doors and has two light switches and an electrical outlet. I tried placing a small dresser against the wall to cover up the switches, but it felt...

When choosing art for your home, consider the shape of your walls and place pieces to fit the space. Here, the short, wide space between the window and table is perfect to display anything horizontal in shape. Since I didn’t have a single landscape sized piece, I hung two small pictures horizontally. First, place your furniture exactly where you want before you start hammering nails in your wall. Take all the accessories...

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a good video must be worth 100,000. It’s just so much easier to envision an idea  or master a concept when it’s conveyed with both images and sound. That’s why we’ve decided to focus on creating more video content for you. We’ll be developing new clips every week and sharing them on our YouTube channel. We’ll cover everything from quick how-to’s and decorating tips to reviews of home décor products and behind-the-scenes...

Sometimes the shape of a wall dictates what size of artwork you choose and how to hang it. For example, a wide horizontal wall is perfect to showcase a landscape piece or a group of smaller frames grouped together horizontally. On the other hand, a tall, skinny wall is the ideal spot to display a tall piece or a group of smaller pieces like we did here. Tall, skinny walls are...

  Daphne Munro, the host of ABC 15’s Smart Shopper series, is always on the lookout for great deals and new products to try before her viewers decide whether to buy. She recently did just that with our Hang & Level – she wanted to test out whether it really makes picture hanging as easy as we say it does. Daphne tried it ‘again and again, with light and heavy pictures’. Her verdict?...

Centering artwork over a piece of furniture can be a real pain! Sure, you can try to eyeball it, but you’re almost guaranteed to be off. Here’s what I do, and it works like a charm every time. Mark both the center of your furniture and the middle of the bottom of the frame with a small piece of painter’s tape. Using a Hang & Level, lift your frame above...

I love decorating with large clocks. In addition to keeping time, they’re a fun and affordable way to decorate a wall. The challenge with hanging large clocks is to figure out how to deal with the large keyholes they’re often fitted with and to choose the right hanging hardware to use to safely secure them to the wall. Sometimes, it’s all about owning the right tools to get the job done and...

A professional handyman tries hundreds of tools, so when he gives something a thumbs up, it means a lot. That’s why we were so excited to hear how handyman Shawn Schmidt had done just that for our Hang & Level, Déco Hammer and Anchor Points. In his demo for KFRY-TV, Shawn was quick to point out that our tools are especially handy for those who don’t need or have expensive professional tools around...

We’re beaming with pride, and maybe even blushing a little, after reading a media product review that makes our tools seem almost heroic. The Times of Northwest Indiana calls Hang & Level a “sanity-saver for … anyone with walls.” Their review also praises our Déco Hammer, noting that its ideal size and weight help to make smashed fingers a thing of the past.  It may not be quite super-hero stuff, but we’ll gladly settle for everyday household...

Here's a quick tip that never fails. When I'm hanging pictures and I want them to be perfectly level, I close one eye to focus on lining up both top edges — it works like a charm. Here, I am lining up the second frame with the one already on the wall. As you can see, I’m visually lining up the frames using Hang & Level.
