How to Hang Something on the Wall Without Damage

Many items are nailed or screwed into the wall, creating a small hole and damage to the surface. To prevent damage to your walls, you can hang some objects on the wall with a hook that doesn't have to be nailed or screwed in. If you use this option, you can only hang light objects. Heavier objects should be secured to the wall with a screw to prevent them from falling.
