The invention relates to an adjustable fastening plate (1) intended for a fake wall made of a flexible sheet (2) provided, along each of the edges thereof, with at least one loop (3) and a cable (4) placed inside said loops (3), said cables (4) being attached, by means of the slant of said plate (1), to the walls and/or the ceiling of an indoor space for keeping said sheet (2) in position. The invention is remarkable in that it includes a base plate (5) attached to the indoor space, a first arm (6) and a second arm (7) hinged to said base plate (5), first and second slides (8, 9) that each receive a cable (4) and which are slidable along said first and second arms (6, 7) so as to enable the tensioning of said cable (4), and an adjusting means (10) for adjusting the angular distance between the first and second arms (6, 7).
