Can I Hang Pictures, Photos Or Prints In A Council House?

If you're living in a council house and want to make your place your own, hanging pictures, photos or prints is one way of doing it. But are you allowed?

In general you are allowed to hang up pictures, photos or prints in a council house. Tenants are usually responsible for the interior decoration of your place, and so putting up some simple wall art is perfectly fine.

If you are in any doubt, you can always ask your local council to ensure you are allowed, but for something as small as hanging up art and photos, it should be fine.

If you're going to use nails or screws, this is generally OK as there will be minimal damage. You can also use adhesive strips such as command strips, sticking your prints to your wall.

Things To Consider

  • Make sure you use the correct screws for the walls, that can support your art piece
  • Smaller frames are lighter and therefore easier to hang
  • You can use command strips to hang prints, removing the need for tools or nails
  • You may want to fill in holes if you're planning on moving on
