Selecting A Quilt Design Wall Hanger

By Harriett Crosby


A quilt design wall hanger provides an artistic hanging solution. It offers a way of displaying items like quilts, rugs and tapestries without causing any damage. The items are held securely without having to make any holes or sew on tabs.

Many wonderful designs are available at local and online stores. Browsing online is a helpful and easy way of comparing styles and prices. This enables you to select the perfect design to compliment your taste and decor style. For example, if you have a country style house, there are many beautiful items available with shelves, grooves for displaying plates and cut-outs like hearts.

Hangers work in several ways but many of them act as clamps. Two rails of wood are used and the object you want to hang is placed between these rails. Knobs are used for tightening and the heavier the object, the more knobs are required. These knobs are placed above the hanging so as not to damage it. A groove on the lower, inner edges of the rails means that the object hangs evenly, does not slip out easily and that pressure on the fabric is minimized. The hangers themselves are attached to the walls in various ways, keyhole slots being one of these.

As there are numerous companies offering these items, it is important to select a reputable one. Reading online reviews is one way of finding out more about its reliability. Once you have made a decision, you will need to place an order, choosing your size, style, type of wood and finish. Some companies do offer customization of sizes and other details like cut-outs on shelves and decorative knobs.

Woods like walnut, cherry, oak, maple and pine can be selected. They may be stained, painted or treated with lacquers, depending on the type of wood. The wood and type of finish chosen depends entirely on your personal taste and decor style. You may choose to buy unfinished hangers and stain or paint them yourself. A paint-grade maple is an excellent smooth wood if you want a paint finish.

The finish on the item is very important as you do not want one that will transfer to your hanging. There are suppliers who use lacquers for finishing that prevent any natural wood oils or stains from penetrating the fabric. Some recommend wrapping a piece of natural muslin around the top edge before clamping it to protect it from staining.

You will need to measure the length of your hanging before placing an order. If the size ordered is too long, it looks unattractive and can cause sagging. The correct size will be the length of the object itself or one or two inches longer. Some companies offer to customize sizes but one of the standard sizes offered will usually work.

A quilt design wall hanger displaying your beautiful hanging attractively. It gives firm support and does not put too much pressure on the fabric. Such an item can add to the decor of any room, helping to create an artistic focal point.
