Can I install wallpaper on the ceiling?

Tips and tricks for installing peel-and-stick wallpaper on ceilings, plus what to know before you start.

Updated over a week ago

Yes, you totally can! Adding wallpaper to the ceiling is such a fun way to create a cozy, unexpected touch — especially in bedrooms, nurseries, or reading nooks.

Here are a few tips before you start:

  • Make sure your ceiling is clean, smooth, and completely dry before installing

  • Use a laser level or mark a straight line to keep your first panel aligned — this step is extra important when working overhead

  • It’s best to start your first panel near the window and work away from the light source

  • If your ceiling has texture or bumps, test with a sample first to make sure it sticks properly

  • Grab a buddy! Installing on the ceiling is totally doable solo, but it’s way easier (and more fun) with two

And just like with walls, our wallpaper is peel-and-stick, repositionable, and removable — so don’t stress if you don’t get it perfect on the first try.
