How to Hang a Curtain from a Ceiling as a Room Divider

Curtain room dividers require little time or skill to hang from a ceiling. These room dividers are useful for muffling noises or to cover an ugly wall area. People often use them to create a separate area in a room, for instance, one that two siblings share. The curtains may shield a kitchen or dining room area in your home if you have an open floor plan. They can also form storage space in a corner or L-shaped room.

      Measure and mark the area where you need to install the curtain track. This ensures it's centered if the curtains are to divide the room in half.

      Install the curtain track with the screws that came with it. Use an electric or regular screwdriver.
