Instructions For Hanging Bed Crowns & Coronas

We do recommend the bedcrowns be hung by a professional installer but are offering instructions for the "do it yourself" types. The instructions below are a secure method for hanging on sheetrock and are approved by the manufacturer.

Cut a piece of 1/2" plywood tthe exact dimensions of the indent in back of the crown so the plywood is flush with the crown. Place the plywood over the back of the corona and mark the placement of the holes onto the cutout. Drill the four holes (countersunk). On your wall, find the studs, mark the placement on the cutout, pre-drill four smaller holes. Insert the four large bolts into the holes on the cutout so the threaded end is faces outward with the heads against the wall. Mount the plywood cutout to the wall using wall anchors rated no less than 50 lbs.

Place the crown's hole openings onto the bolts and anchor with washers and wingnuts. Gently tighten the nuts, too much could crack the bedcrown. Using this method for sheetrock is secure and will withstand even the heaviest of drapery treatments.

The drapery for the bedcrown should be made with a rod pocket which slips onto the rod at the split. The rod can be removed from the bedcrown for easier installation. Click here for information on custom drapery for your bedcrown using your fabrics or ours.
