My basement is unfinished. The ceiling is just the floor joists. We are using it as a temporary room. I bought a set of unframed, mounted pictures from Ikea that are about 6' square. I would like to cover the joists with them, but I would like to be able to remove them for access to the wiring in the joists. Any ideas?

Velcro. Peel and stick. If you want to be sure it will stay, use a staple gun on the part going into the wood of the joists.
My suggestion would be peel and stick velcro as well. 3M makes one that can hold a lot of weight so it should hold them well.
Thank you!
I agree, go woth the peel and stick Velcro-that way no damage to the joists or pictures.
Just make sure the frames don't have glass in them in case they do decide to let go.
