Should You DIY Your Wall Hanging or Hire a Pro?

Hanging a few light frames might seem like an easy weekend project, but when the stakes are higher, like mounting large mirrors, heavy TVs, or intricate gallery walls, mistakes can be costly.

DIY is fine if you're hanging lightweight frames with adhesive strips or very small nails. Shelves under 5kg and small canvases are usually safe for confident DIYers.

However, you should hire a pro if:

• You’re mounting into brick, concrete, or tiled walls.
• The items are heavy or valuable (like mirrors or TVs).
• You want hidden wiring or advanced wall mounting setups.
• You want perfect visual alignment with zero damage.

A professional installation not only looks better but also protects your walls, your belongings, and your deposit (if you’re renting).
