minus-squareChris@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoI’ve recently discovered hard wall picture hooks. They hammer into brick and stay put. I used to drill and put a screw in - these are so much easier! For plasterboard walls the standard picture hooks which come with nails are fine. If it’s a particularly heavy or valuable picture I’d probably still recommend drilling and putting a screw in in either type of wall.
