I really wish I could delete my first post lol

I am in need of some advice please.. Bearing in mind I am not a DIY expert at all.. I can put furniture together but when it comes to drilling, anything to do with house builds I am clueless.. I brought a Canvas picture that from the specs says it is only 3kg in weight (see second image) I would like to put that somewhere in the kitchen. However the whole of the kitchen is tiled (see picture 1)

I have attempted to use command strips large that can take 7.2kg but they didn't really stick and kept sliding down the wall. I know some people said to hang it from the wall, but for me that is a bit to complicated to. I don't really want to attempt to drill holes into the tiles just in case they break (we live in a rented property)

I have come across some suction cups ideas but they are getting mixed reviews so. Can someone point me in the right direction please??

You can buy a special drill bit for tiles. That is the route i would take.
 
They can't drill a hole it's rented. But why are you resisting the suction hooks idea? eg https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09J8G7...&s=kitchen&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw you can even use two to spread the load. There are suction hooks designed to hang wet suits on, they weigh a helluva lot more than a canvas, have a google.
Was asking to make sure that suction hook work, etc.. Because have seen a mixed bag of reviews.. And do not want the picture to come crashing down :) Have you used them yourself? :)
 
If it's a typical wooden frame with a canvas stretched over it and the walls flat I'd silicone it in place.

Decent bead around the wooden frame, press to the wall, prop in place with a couple of pieces of wood and tape to hold flat until the silicone goes off.

Picture will be removable with a scraper if required and the excess silicone then removed.
