Hang Small Stuff on Concrete Walls
The hard surface of concrete walls can make it somewhat difficult to decorate. It is not like drywall, where you can hold up a poster with some push pins and be done. If your goal is to hang pictures and other small decorations, you will need something stronger than push pins and more practical than duct tape. Your best bet for hanging decorations on concrete is to use concrete screws and metal anchors. Does this Spark an idea?
