I have loads of Beatles posters I want to put up on my walls but my mum and dad tell me I can’t cos I’ll damage the wallpaper. Only my sister has LOADS of posters up in her room and she’g got wallpaper as well – my parents aren’t telling her off. What can I use to put my posters up without damaging them? Does blu-tack damage wallpaper?
Hi Mrs. Harrison-McCartney,
I am a Home Depot associate and I may have the best solution for you. The best thing is, you won’t be singing "Baby Your a Rich Man" to buy them either!
The product I’m referring to is Command adhesive strips by 3M. I am also an art major so I like to hang up my posters and artwork without damaging the walls (since I rent).
These little guys are amazing at holding up lightweight materials like your posters, keeping them flat, and being safe to take back down. I have seen materials like Blu-Tack sometimes leave any oily residue on the surfaces of areas after a long time, particularly in hot weather. With Command strips, I never had that problem.
Simply stick them up and enjoy your Fab Four posters, personally I like the Richard Avedon poster of them with diff. psychedlic colors.
Hope this helps you out, in fact, take a look at the links below for other Command Adhesive posts I did here.
