Modern interiors may have many elements of wall décor, from fancy mirrors and shelves to a carefully selected collection of artworks. That’s why as soon as you decide on moving wall décor to another place, the task may turn into a surprisingly challenging endeavor. Here are the main steps and precautions you should keep in mind when planning this change in your interior.
Thorough Preparation
Good preparation is half the success of easy and safe décor moving. You will need to assess the number, type, and fragility of all décor items that require deinstallation. Based on that data, you will need to make a plan – find a new place for every item you are taking off, either on another wall or in a storage box.
Careful Removal
The next step involves the actual removal of décor items from the wall. To do it right, you should ensure that you have all the needed tools at your disposal. Your process of décor removal will go much smoother if you label all hardware items, such as screws and hooks, and place them into separate bags. If you need to remove large or heavy décor objects, such as antique framed artwork or mirrors, it’s better to seek help. Dealing with such items alone may cause damage to the piece if you suddenly drop it.
Packing of Décor Items
As with any other artwork, you will need to use proper padding and corner protectors for framed objects when packaging your wall décor. Wrap each object separately and label the boxes to locate each item with ease.
Wall Reconstruction
Now that the process of moving wall décor is over, it’s time to assess and repair the damaged walls. As soon as you remove nails and screws that were holding the décor items, there will be holes in the wall, which can be filled with spackle. After filling, you may sand the damaged areas so that they restore a smooth surface and repaint those parts or the entire wall to give it an original look.
