Deco Rail: the invisible solution for hanging your pictures

Do you love paintings, photos, or works of art, but don't want to put too many holes in your walls? A picture rail system is already a practical solution for easily changing your decor. But if you're looking for an even more discreet result, the Deco Rail goes a step further.

Its principle is simple: combine a picture rail with a decorative cornice. The rail is fixed to the upper part of the wall, then the cornice covers it. Once installed, the picture rail completely disappears behind the cornice. This gives you a practical and modular hanging system, while maintaining a particularly elegant finish.

This is one of the system's main advantages. With traditional hanging, each picture requires a hanging point. If you change its position, you generally have to drill a new hole. With the Deco Rail, the principle is different.

The rail is fixed once at the top of the wall. Pictures are then hung using wires and hooks. This allows you to change your decor without redoing your walls.

A new picture has just arrived? You can add it.

You no longer like a piece of art in that spot? You can move it.

Want to rearrange several frames? Simply change their position on the hanging system.

This modularity is particularly appealing to people who like to regularly update their interiors.

The installation is based on a fairly simple principle.

1. Attaching the picture rail to the wall

The Deco Rail is attached to the upper part of the wall, near the ceiling. The 200 cm model is pre-drilled to facilitate its attachment. The rail is made of extruded aluminum and has a maximum capacity of 20 kg per linear meter. The fasteners must, of course, be adapted to the nature of the wall and the weight of the works to be hung.

The suspension wires then slide into the rail. Depending on the system chosen, you can use transparent wires or cables suited to your needs. The hooks then allow you to hang the pictures and adjust their height. This gives you a permanent system that remains very flexible to use.

The appeal of the Deco Rail is also aesthetic. Instead of trying to make the upper part of the wall disappear completely, the cornice becomes an integral part of the decor.

It can create an elegant transition between the wall and the ceiling and add more character to the room. The different models available allow you to play with shapes and sizes. A thin and discreet cornice will be perfect for a contemporary decoration. A more imposing model, on the other hand, can reinforce the classic or architectural character of a room. The picture rail then becomes almost invisible, while the cornice fully contributes to the style of your interior.

The Deco Rail can be used for various types of hanging: paintings, frames, photographs, or works of art. However, the choice of wires and hooks must be adapted to the weight of each item.

Some complete kits, for example, include two 150 cm Twister wires and two self-locking hooks that can support up to 15 kg each.

It is therefore important to check the load capacity of the rail, wires, and hooks before installing a work. For a particularly heavy work, always choose a system adapted to its weight.

The gallery wall is a very popular way to personalize a living room, hallway, or bedroom. The problem is that creating one can quickly require a lot of holes.

You have to position each frame, measure distances, check alignments, and start over if the composition ultimately isn't right. With the Deco Rail, you can modify your composition much more easily. The frames are hung from the same system and their position can be adjusted without making changes to the wall. You can therefore test different configurations until you achieve the desired balance.

This is particularly useful if you want to create a photo gallery, display a collection, or regularly update your gallery wall.

The choice primarily depends on the desired style. At Cimaises &+, several cornice models are offered with the Deco Rail system. The range notably includes Orac models of various shapes and sizes.

For example, you can opt for:

• A discreet cornice for a minimalist result;
• A wider cornice for a strong decorative presence;
• A classic model to enhance a room's character;
• A finish that is easily customizable to your decor.

It is important to check the compatibility of the chosen model with the Deco Rail.

The Deco Rail is specifically designed to accommodate compatible cornices from the Axxent and Luxxus ranges, with the exception of models intended for indirect lighting.

To facilitate your project, there are also complete Deco Rail kits combining the picture rail, the cornice, and the necessary hanging elements.

Depending on the model, the kit may include:

• A Deco Rail picture rail;
• Screws and wall plugs;
• A decorative cornice;
• Twister cords;
• Self-locking hooks.

For example, the 200 cm kits offered with different Orac Decor cornices allow you to choose a finish based on the desired style. You only need to provide the products necessary for bonding and, when several cornices are placed end-to-end, for treating the joints. This formula allows you to start with a coherent set without having to select each component separately.

The Deco Rail offers a simple solution for those looking for a picture hanging system that is both discreet and adaptable. Its main advantage is combining the practicality of a picture rail with the aesthetic of a cornice.

You can change your decor without making multiple holes, easily create a gallery wall, and adjust the height or position of your pictures. And most importantly, the rail disappears behind the cornice.

It is therefore a particularly interesting solution if you are looking for an invisible picture hanging system without sacrificing the flexibility offered by a modular hanging system.

In summary, the Deco Rail allows you to:

• hang pictures without making multiple holes;
• easily move artworks;
• create an adaptable gallery wall;
• completely conceal the picture rail;
• customize the finish with different cornices;
• maintain a durable hanging system;
• give an elegant finish to the upper part of the wall.

The Deco Rail thus transforms a purely technical element into a true component of interior decoration.

Deco Rail is an elegant solution for hanging your artwork while completely concealing the hanging system. By combining a picture rail with a decorative cornice, it allows you to easily update your decor, create a gallery wall, and limit new holes in your walls.

A particularly attractive solution for those looking for practicality, discretion, and aesthetics.
