Install a small cup hook at the center of the ceiling and at each corner of the room. Drape long lengths of 54-inch-wide tulle from the center of the room to each corner, securing it by slipping the mesh of the tulle over the end of the cup hook. Allow each length of tulle to hang down the wall for a gentle flowing effect when you secure it. Don't stretch the tulle tightly against the ceiling.
