What to use to put up pictures/posters/etc that won't damage walls?Hey,
So when at uni I'll be wanting to decorate the walls with some pictures or posters and whatnot, but of course in halls you aren't allowed to use anything that'll damage the walls... Is there anything you can use that won't cause any damage?
Thanks

But I don't see how blue tack would remove your paint. I use it home, and it doesn't damage the walls at all.

Re: What to use to put up pictures/posters/etc that won't damage walls?Blu-tack usually leaves a greasy mark where it was anyway, even if it doesn't pull off the paint.
Gripping Stuff is really good...

You can cut it to the size you want and you only need a little bit in each corner still. It doesn't leave any marks and only took off two tiny spots of paint where I had stuck things pretty much all over the wall. -

Re: What to use to put up pictures/posters/etc that won't damage walls?The Uni I'm going to provides us with a notice board kind of thing in our room to pin posters, photos etc on. They don't let you use blue-tac to stick things on walls which seems a bit harsh to me but oh well

Re: What to use to put up pictures/posters/etc that won't damage walls?You can get hooks that stick to the wall and come off without removing any finish for paintings and pin boards

Re: What to use to put up pictures/posters/etc that won't damage walls?Every uni pretty much says no blue tack, but the room is not brand new 95% of the time. There will be greasy marks on the walls and bits of paint missing from where previous occupants have stuck their posters. How are they supposed to know who's marks are who's?
