Putting up paintings and shelves
Putting up paintings and shelves is an important part of decorating your home. With a few exceptions, Lumo residents are allowed to make wall hangings in their apartments.
Can I drill holes in the walls of the apartment? Can I hang pictures or paintings on the walls?
Lumo residents are allowed to mount things on the walls of the rooms. Typically, residents want to mount mirrors, shelves, a flat-screen TV, or pictures on walls.
You may not fasten anything to the wet rooms (toilets, bathrooms), apartment floors, fixtures, exterior door, interior doors, balcony walls or ceilings.
Mounting things on the walls is allowed as long as the resident ensures that the wall is sufficiently strong for the element to be mounted, and the fastening is done with appropriate fasteners, ensuring a safe and clean result.
We recommend using fastening methods that leave no traces. If there are marks on the walls resulting from the fastening, it is the resident's responsibility to restore the walls to their original condition before moving out.
If you are not sure about the load-bearing capacity of the wall or the suitable method of fastening, please contact your building's property manager through the My Lumo service: lumo.fi/mylumo-en
Where are you not allowed to mount things?
You may not fasten anything to the wet rooms (toilets, bathrooms), apartment floors, fixtures, exterior door, interior doors, balcony walls or ceilings.
The instruction will come into force on 1.1.2024.
