How to Hang Picture Frames as Room Dividers

Room dividers help to create a feeling of segmentation in a large area. While most dividers rest on the floor, long picture frames hanging from the ceiling provide an unconventional and visually interesting method of creating these barriers. Place colorful pictures in the frames or fill them with decorative paper for an added decorating touch.

4 eye hooks
Stud finder
Drill
High-tension wire
4 wire rope clips

Instructions

- 1
  Install two eye hooks along the top edge of the frame on opposite sides. Measure the width between the center of the eye hooks.
- 2
  Locate a ceiling stud in the spot where you want to divide the room. Measure and mark the distance between the eye hooks on the ceiling. Install two more eye hooks at these marks, using a drill to create starter holes if necessary.

  Cut two strands of high-tension wire in the length at which you want the picture frame to hang plus 6 inches.

  Thread one strand of high-tension wire through each ceiling eye hook and fold over 3 inches. Use a wire rope clip to hold it in place. Thread the other end of the wires through the corresponding eye hooks on the frame and fasten the wires with clips to complete the hanging.

  Repeat the entire process for each picture frame you wish to hang as a room divider. Use frames of the same size and style for continuity. Leave at least 1 inch between each frame.
