Hanging potted plants can do much to make your bedroom seem warm and inviting. It doesn't take long to insert a few hooks into your ceiling to hang your plants but the tools you need and the method you use to hang the hooks will depend on whether or not you drill into a hidden ceiling beam.
Instructions
1. Choose an area of the bedroom where the plant will get enough light and where you will be able to easily water the plant. Avoid hanging a plant over the bed.
2. Set up a ladder underneath the spot you have chosen.
3. Remove the decorative ceiling hook from the package. There will usually be four pieces: the hook, a threaded post that screws into the hook, a pointed screw that fits into the hook and an expandable wall anchor. Which pieces you use depend on whether you are drilling through the ceiling or into a ceiling beam.
4. Drill a hole into the ceiling slightly smaller than the pointed screw that came with the decorative hook if you are drilling into a ceiling beam. Twist the into the hook. Screw the hook, pointed end up, into the hole until it is securely attached to the ceiling.
5. Drill a hole into the ceiling large enough to fit the folded anchor if you are drilling directly through the ceiling.
6. Screw the threaded post into the decorative hook. Attach the expandable anchor onto the other end of the threaded post so that the joint of the anchor is pointing away from the hook.
7. Fold down the anchor and insert the anchor into the hole in the ceiling. Push up on the hook until you feel the anchor push through the ceiling and into the space on the other side. The anchor will open on the other side of the ceiling.
8. Pull down on the hook and twist until the hook has screwed into the ceiling.
9. Hang the plant and clean up any debris on the floor.
