How to Hang Beaded Curtains (Step-by-Step Guide)
Adding sparkle and movement to any space is simple with ShopWildThings beaded curtains. In our instructional video, we show you exactly how to install them in a variety of settings—whether at home, at an event, or in a commercial venue. No matter where you want to hang your curtain, we’ve got a method that works.
Hanging from Drop Ceilings with Magnet Hooks
One of the easiest and most popular methods is attaching beaded curtains to drop ceilings using our heavy-duty magnetic hooks. These magnets lock securely onto the metal grid, allowing you to hang curtains without drilling, nails, or permanent hardware. This is especially useful for event planners, trade shows, or temporary décor setups where fast installation and removal are essential.
Hanging in Doorways
Transforming a doorway is effortless. Simply mount the curtain rod above the door frame and let the strands fall to the floor. The result is a stylish alternative to a traditional door that adds both privacy and shimmer. Perfect for retail shops, dressing areas, or even adding character to a hallway at home.
Hanging in Windows
Beaded curtains can instantly replace blinds or sheer drapes. Install them above the window frame, and the strands will cascade like a sparkling waterfall, catching the light and adding color, shine, and movement. They’re a simple way to elevate both small rooms and large open spaces.
Adjusting the Width with Eyelets
Our beaded curtains come with hanging eyelets along the top rod. Some eyelets are stationary to keep the curtain stable, while others are sliding so you can adjust the width or overlap multiple curtains for a wider installation. This combination makes it easy to fit your curtain to different spaces, whether you’re covering a doorway, framing a window, or building a dramatic backdrop.
