I'm living in an older townhome, and the walls are a mix of exposed brick and plaster. I want to hang some larger picture frames (18x24") but I'm hesitant to drill into the walls because of potential wires or pipes behind them. I've heard about masonry anchors but don't want to commit to less flexible options that could limit my ability to reposition the frames. I'm also a bit distrustful of Command Strips since I've had one fail on me before. Are there any alternative screws, anchors, or methods specifically designed for plaster or brick walls? Or could Command Strips actually be a viable long-term solution?

Have you thought about using picture hanging rails? They attach to the ceiling and come with adjustable wires, which makes hanging and repositioning art super easy without damaging your walls. You can get railing hooks and wires separately, which are all designed to support your frames without leaving a bunch of holes.
Absolutely! Those picture rails are perfect for older homes with plaster walls. They let you change things up without a hassle.
