Anna Chandler Design have given us some instructions on how to hang the gorgeous colourful art tiles in our feature today. To avoid any domestic disasters (or disputes), we thought we'd pass the information on...



 If you're hanging on a brick wall, start by drilling a 6.5mm wide hole using a masonry bit to a depth of about 35 or 45mm. Hammer a green plastic plug into the hole and then screw in an 8g wood screw almost fully leaving, about 8mm proud of the wall. This will then support the wire hook on the back of the tile.

If you're hanging on to an internal stud wall or a hollow wall, you need to find the wooden horizontal or vertical beams inside the wall. You can do this by tapping to see where it sounds most solid, or by using an electronic stud finder. Once you're confident you've found a beam, drill a small pilot hole with a steel drill. The width of the pilot hole should be just a little wider than the core of the 8g wood screw, but narrower than its maximum diameter. Then screw in your 8g wood screw almost fully leaving, about 8mm proud of the wall and hang the tile.

If you want to hang the plaque on a hollow section of wall where there are no support beams, you'll need to buy a special fitting for this from your hardware shop.
