Hanging a 2-Panel Japanese Screen Between Windows

Anne installed her two-panel Japanese folding screen between two windows using our 2-Panel Japanese Screen Hanging Kit. The composition is simple and striking—the screen bridges the view between the windows and becomes the natural focal point of the wall.

“It is a great system and the screen looks beautiful. So happy we ordered your brackets!”

Why This Design Works

The screen’s silver background lifts off the deep wall color, creating luminous contrast in the daytime and a quiet glow at night. Centered between the windows, the two panels echo the room’s symmetry while the painted landscape adds depth and movement.

Keeping the surrounding elements light and minimal lets the artwork breathe. The eye reads one continuous scene instead of competing objects.

How to Mount a Two-Panel Screen

1. Measure and Center

Find the midpoint between the windows, then mark your ideal top line to ensure the screen clears trim and sits comfortably below the ceiling.

2. Use Low-Profile Clear Brackets

Our slim, lucite mounting brackets work perfectly in tight spots. Step 1: Start with the lower pair to support the screen’s weight. Step 2: Once in position, secure it at the top for a stable, nearly invisible hold.

3. Fine-Tune Spacing

Leave consistent margins from each window casing so the screen “floats” evenly—this preserves the calm, gallery-style look.
