Hanging Pictures on Plasterboard Walls

arkwright01

I'm moving into a house that has plasterboard internal walls.

I want to hang some pictures (some heavy, most not). I would think that usual picture hooks using masonry nails wouldn't be any use - so what's the best way? Use screws or is there another way?

Using picture hooks with the standard nails will be fine for most pictures.

I would use a screw with a proper plasterboard rawlplug to hnag the heavy ones.

I hang everything on my plasterboard walls using just a nail.

As per the other post, you can get plasterboard specific rawl plugs from any DIY shop. I've used these to fix other things to the wall and they work fine.
