Advice for hanging a Chinese screen behind the sofa.

10 years ago
Hello. How did you hang the Chinese screen behind the sofa. I'd like to do something similar, but worry it may be too heavy

    Hello Bap Grey - I'm sorry this is a late response, we are checking into the Houzz alerts for the questions we receive!

    I think I have two answers for you;

    Here, in this case, there is a simple "fool the eye" thing we did - in creation of "boxes" or stands to place the screen on. You may notice the left side of the screen, the box that is directly behind the side table, has a faux finish for the base molding and the quarter round trim. There were four of the boxes in total, mostly hidden behind the sofa and the skirted table, so the effect really worked. To make this safe from tipping over, we tied thin but strong wire to the uppermost hinges from the back, attached to the wall.

    Another way is to use several mounted wire ties, and support the screen entirely with these type of mounts, but there a a few tricks to know about doing it this way.

    There are other ways to attach to the wall, or to support, please contact me if you need a different solution!
