It is economical, discreet, stylish, reliable and easy to install on any type of wall.
To equip a wall of 4 linear meters, you need to count approximately 60€ including tax
It is available in retail (picture rail and all its accessories) or as a complete all-in-one kit (picture rail box)

Do you want to hang pictures without drilling into walls? Whether you're a landlord or a tenant, a picture rail hanging system is the ideal solution for decorating an interior while preserving the walls.

Thanks to a discreet and adaptable wall hanging system, it becomes possible to hang frames, photos, posters, or works of art without making multiple holes in the partitions. The result: a better-maintained home, savings on repairs, and complete freedom to personalize your interior.

Why install a picture rail in rental accommodation?

Every change in decoration generally leads to new holes in the walls. Over the course of several rentals, this represents a significant cost in patching, painting, and restoration.

With a picture rail system, the fixings remain in place while only the cords and hooks are moved as desired.

The advantages are numerous:

no more drilling holes in the walls for every picture;
the walls remain in perfect condition;
frames can be moved in a few seconds;
the decor can be changed without any work;
the accommodation maintains a clean and tidy finish.

This solution is now widely used in art galleries, museums, offices, hotels, and also in private homes.

The benefits of a picture rail for the landlord

Installing a picture rail is a real asset for enhancing a property.

Protect the walls

Tenants can hang decorations without using a drill or nails. The walls remain clean between rentals.

Promote housing

Offering an apartment already equipped with a modern hanging system provides real comfort to the future occupant and differentiates your property from other listings.

Reduce make-ready costs

Fewer holes means less spackling, less painting, and much faster check-ins/check-outs.

Facilitate rentals

Being able to announce that it's possible to hang pictures without drilling is a popular selling point, especially in recently renovated apartments.

Optimize investment

For certain furnished rental statuses (especially in LMP depending on your tax situation), this equipment can be included in the investments related to the accommodation. It is recommended to consult your accountant to find out the applicable terms.

The advantages of a picture rail for the tenant

A picture rail hanging system also offers many benefits to tenants.

Freely decorate your home

Frames, posters, lightweight mirrors, photographs, or works of art can be moved as many times as desired.

Avoid conflict with the landlord

No need to ask for permission to drill into walls or worry about repairs before leaving the accommodation.

Protect your security deposit

Poorly filled holes or unsightly paint touch-ups can lead to deductions from the security deposit. With a picture rail, this risk almost completely disappears.

Change your decor

Changing the display of your pictures becomes simple: just move the hooks along the wires, without tools or damage.
