Wallpapering a ceiling might seem like a challenge, but with the right preparation and technique, it’s absolutely doable—and the result can completely transform a room! For the best results, we recommend working with two people.

📐 Made to Measure

Each mural is custom printed to the dimensions ordered for your ceiling.

The mural is supplied in 19.3-inch (49 cm) wide panels. Because the design is printed in complete panels, available widths are offered in set increments based on the panel width.

Each panel is marked and numbered in the correct installation order.

📏 How to Measure Your Ceiling

Step 1 – Measure the width
Measure the full width of the ceiling at several points and use the largest measurement.

Step 2 – Measure the length
Measure the full length of the ceiling at several points and use the largest measurement.

Step 3 – Add extra material
Add at least 2 inches to both the total width and length. This allows for walls and ceilings that may not be perfectly straight.

Step 4 – Include openings and cutouts
Do not subtract openings, fixtures, or other areas that will be cut out during installation. Order the mural for the complete ceiling area so the design remains continuous.

⚠️ Important: Your mural will be printed according to the dimensions ordered. Always double-check your measurements before placing your order.

📐 L-Shaped & Irregular Ceilings

Our custom murals are printed in a rectangular shape.

For an L-shaped or irregular ceiling:

Step 1: Measure the full width and length needed to create a rectangle that covers the entire ceiling.

Step 2: Order the mural using those complete rectangular dimensions.

Step 3: During installation, cut away the sections of wallpaper that are not needed.

✓ Ordering the mural as one complete rectangle allows the design to remain continuous and the pattern to match throughout the ceiling.

⚠️ Do not order adjoining sections as separate murals if you want the pattern to match.

If an L-shaped ceiling is ordered as two separate murals, each mural will be scaled individually according to its dimensions. The pattern will not match between the two murals.

↔️ Choose Your Installation Direction

Before ordering, decide which direction you would like the design to run across your ceiling.

The panels are numbered in installation order.

Before installing:

1. Lay out the panels in numerical order.
2. Confirm the orientation of the design.
3. Decide where Panel 1 should begin.
4. Make sure the design will run in the desired direction before applying any adhesive.

🧵 Material

Our murals are printed on a high-quality non-woven wallpaper material designed for paste-the-surface installation.

The material provides:

✓ Smooth, matte finish
✓ Excellent dimensional stability
✓ Easy paste-the-surface installation
✓ Good durability
✓ Easier removal when properly installed

The wallpaper is made using sustainably sourced wood fibers and meets applicable product and environmental standards.

🛠️ How to Install a Wallpaper Mural on a Ceiling

For ceiling installations, we recommend working with two people, especially when installing longer panels.

1. ✓ Check Your Mural

Before installation, verify the mural dimensions and inspect all panels for damage or visible defects.

Do not begin installation if you believe there is a manufacturing defect or printing error.

2. ✂️ Cut the Panels

Lay the mural on a clean, dry surface.

Cut the individual panels along the indicated scissor markings.

3. 🔢 Arrange the Panels

Place all panels in numerical order before beginning.

Confirm that you have all panels and that the design flows correctly from one panel to the next.

4. ↔️ Confirm the Direction

Determine where Panel 1 will begin and confirm that the mural is facing the correct direction on the ceiling.

5. 🖌️ Apply the Adhesive

Apply an adhesive suitable for non-woven wallpaper directly to the prepared ceiling.

Apply enough adhesive for approximately one panel at a time.

6. ① Install Panel 1

Position Panel 1 on the ceiling according to your planned starting point.

Make sure the first panel is positioned correctly before continuing, as it determines the alignment of the remaining mural.

7. ②③④ Continue in Order

Install the remaining panels in numerical order.

Install each panel edge-to-edge without overlapping.

8. 🔍 Match the Design

Carefully align the design where each panel meets the next.

Do not stretch the wallpaper to make the pattern match.

9. 🧽 Smooth the Wallpaper

Gently smooth each panel against the ceiling and work out any air pockets.

Take care not to damage or stretch the wallpaper.

10. ✂️ Trim the Edges

Once positioned correctly, trim the excess wallpaper along the walls and around fixtures or other openings.

11. 💧 Remove Excess Adhesive

Immediately remove any excess adhesive with a clean, damp sponge or soft cloth.

Do not scrub the wallpaper surface.
