Hanging a tapestry on a curved wall can be quite a challenge.  Many entry ways and rooms in homes today have high ceilings as well as rounded walls.  Below are instructions to help with hanging a tapestry on a curved wall.

In order to hang your tapestry, you will need a material that is light weight, flexible and easy to work with.  We choose white carpentry trim.  You may purchase a piece of white carpentry trim from you local hardware store for around $4.00.   Make sure the trim is as wide as your tapestry.  We have used carpentry trim that is 3 1/2 inches think.    Cut the carpentry trim to the same width as your tapestry or a smidge shorter than your tapestry.  Some hardware stores will cut the carpentry trim to size for you.  Just be sure of your measurements.

Next, drill four holes in your trim equidistance apart.  If you have a 30 inch piece of trim, your holes would be at the 0 inch mark, 10 inch mark, 20 inch mark, and 30 inch mark. 

Now it is time to decide where you will be placing the board on the wall.  After you have decided on the height you will need to place the board for your tapestry, be sure you center and level your board.  Holding the board securely in place, use a pencil to mark on the wall through the holes you have drilled in the board.  This will mark the spots on the wall where you will be installing dry wall anchors.

Next, install your dry wall anchors.  Drill a hole at the 4 places you have marked on the wall.   Next insert your dry wall anchors into the holes.

Next, purchase Velcro at your local fabric store.  Ask for the strongest Velcro available.  You should be able to purchase it in a 3 inch width.  The Velcro you purchase should be the same size as your white carpentry trim.  We used Velcro with adhesive.  Next, stick the hooks side of the Velcro to your white carpentry trim.  Be sure to cut holes in the Velcro where the holes are in your board.  (Sticking the Velcro to the smooth side of the white carpentry board gives it a much better surface to adhere to than sticking it to a painted wall.)  The white carpentry trim is now ready to screw into the wall.  Be sure to install it with the Velcro facing you.  Take the loop side of the Velcro and adhere it to the tapestry back and top.  You will also want to attach the Velcro by sewing it on to the tapestry.  If you have a heavy duty sewing machine, select a thread color that will blend into your tapestry.  If you do not have a heavy duty sewing machine, take your item to a reputable seamstress to have the Velcro sewn on. 

After the white carpentry board with Velcro is installed and the Velcro is securely attached to the top of your tapestry, you are ready to hang the tapestry on your curved wall.  Simply press the tapestry to the white carpentry board.

If you need a ladder that is very tall for your installation, you can usually rent one from your local hardware store such as Home Depot or Lowes.  Rental for a day is usually very reasonable. 

If you ever need to take the tapestry down, a few good tugs should pull the tapestry from the wall.
