I’m a home decor expert – my simple trick means you won’t have to measure anything when hanging a picture

WHEN it comes to hanging art on the wall, many of us don’t know how to get it right.

We end up with extra holes in the concrete, slanted frames, and off-center pictures.

A woman named Courtney, who goes by @APieceOfMyHaven on TikTok, said she knows a trick to hang paintings evenly without using a measuring tape.

“Have you seen this picture hanging hack?” the video began.

We see someone unroll blue tape across the back of a frame and place small nails on the spots of the tape where the hooks should go in.

The nails were used to make marking holes in the tape.

The person then took that same piece of tape and stuck it onto the wall, drilling holes in the spots that were previously marked with the nails.

The result was a beautifully hung frame.

Her clip received over 600K views and hundreds of comments:

“That’s genius! Thanks,” one person wrote.

“You have answered my prayers,” quipped another.

To ensure that your frame is hanging straight, you can simply use an app on your iPhone.

Hidden in the Measure app, the “Level” feature lets you use your phone to determine whether an object near you is flat.

To use it for hanging frames, open the Measure app. Tap “Level” and then hold the iPhone against the frame.

To make it level, rotate the frame until the iPhone turns green.

If you have vibration turned on, you’ll also feel a small vibration once your surface is level.
