Command Decorating Clips offer a damage-free way to hang lights or organize cables on smooth indoor surfaces without tools or nails. Their strong hold makes them ideal for temporary decorations, but they're best suited only for lightweight items and may lose adhesion over time if overloaded.
Reality Check
Command Decorating Clips are clear plastic clips designed to help you hang lightweight items like string lights and cables indoors without creating holes or marks on your walls. They use adhesive strips instead of nails or screws, making them especially useful for temporary decorating or in places where you can’t put holes in the wall, such as dorm rooms, rentals, or newly painted surfaces. With 40 clips and 48 adhesive strips included, you’re equipped to set up a decent stretch of lights or tidy up some cables along various surfaces, from glass and tile to finished wood and painted drywall.
Here’s the trade-off: while these clips do their job well on smooth surfaces and are genuinely easy to install, their biggest flaw is that the adhesion is only reliable for lightweight items. Over time, or if used with heavier cables or lots of movement, some clips may fall off or lose their grip. This matters if you’re putting up decorations that will stay up for weeks or want to hang anything heavier than fairy or Christmas lights—don’t expect them to act like permanent fixtures or handle bulkier cords.
Best For:
– People living in dorms, rentals, or anyone decorating temporarily who needs to avoid wall damage
Not Recommended For:
– Users needing to mount heavier items or looking for long-term, heavy-duty cable management
