Buying 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.

Not all of these hangers work in the same way. Many of them work like a clamp, with two rails and some knobs. One places the edge of the fabric between the rails and tightens the knobs. More knobs are needed if a hanging is really heavy. A binding groove on the rails at the lower, inner sides makes sure that the hanging does not slip out or hang unevenly. The ways of attaching hangers to the walls also varies with the use of keyhole slots being a popular method.

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.

An object can be damaged by stains and oils from the wood penetrating the fabric. The right finishing, such as the proper lacquer, should prevent this from happening. Some manufacturers actually supply natural muslin at minimal extra cost to wrap around the top edge of your hanging to protect it from any damage.

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.
