How to Attach a Poster Bed Sheer to the Ceiling
- 1). Move your bed to where you want it. The canopy will create the best look if your bed is centered on one wall rather than pushed into a corner.
- 2). Place the ladder near one bed corner. Climb the ladder and use the pencil to make a mark on the ceiling that is directly above the bed corner. Repeat this for the other three bed corners. Make the marks for the corners at the head of the bed 2 inches away from the wall to give yourself room to screw in the swag hooks.
- 3). Measure the distance between the marks at the head and foot of the bed. For the sheer to hang evenly the distance between the two marks at the foot of the bed and the distance between the two marks at the head of the bed should be equal. Have a friend help you hold the tape measure. If needed, change the marks.
- 4). Measure the distance between the marks on the left side of the bed and the right side of the bed. Measure from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed. Again, for the sheers to hang evenly, these two distances need to be equal. Adjust your marks until the measurements are equal.
- 5). Screw in one swag hook at each mark until the base of the hook is flush with the wall. Hang the loops at the corners of your 4-post canopy on the swag hooks.
