Idea 9: Dark Botanical Wallpapered Ceiling Feature How to Create
Applying a moody, dark-grounded botanical wallpaper directly onto the bedroom ceiling draws the eye upward and creates an enveloping, cozy romantic atmosphere overhead. Thoroughly clean the ceiling surface using a sugar soap solution to remove dust and grease, applying a clear wall-size primer to promote wallpaper paste adhesion. Measure the ceiling length and cut wallpaper strips, allowing three extra inches at each end for precise border trimming. Apply heavy-duty clear wallpaper paste evenly across the back of the first paper strip using a paint roller, allowing the paper to soak according to manufacturer directions. Position the first strip along a straight chalk line snapped down the center of the ceiling, smoothing it flat with a wallpaper smoothing brush. Trim the outer edges flush with ceiling molding using a razor knife.
