Recently a couple of images have really caught my eye with feature wallpapered ceilings...
I want to declare it a 'new trend' but a glance into any European cathedral or stately home would point out otherwise.

Instead I think its a rarely seen trend in the modern home which I hope to see more of because; with a wallpapered ceiling you can keep the walls light and focus the attention up which would be very beneficial in a small space, its a more designer take on the feature wall and would allow you to make a bold paint and bold pattern choice if you so desired and finally its an extra platform to play with the dimensions of your space.
The image above is the perfect example of how a carefully selected wall paper paired with light walls can make a room look bigger. This paper not only reflects the light it emulates the sky- effectively making the ceiling disappear- well almost. This would also be a great idea for a nursery, bedroom or any other room in which you spend a lot of time -ehem- looking up.
The
image above is from a fantastic virtual tour of fantastic Edinburgh
Apartment on Houzz- full of retro glamour and subtle geometric pattern
contrasted with bold bright blocks of colour- please check it out! This
wallpaper is striking contrast to the all white bathroom tiles and fixtures,
this takes a standard bathroom to a 'stand out' bathroom.
I've just discovered Greg Natale and I'm a little bit in love. This geometric pattern is probably my favourite uses of wall paper on a ceiling I've seen, this would be particularly good to balance the proportions of a long narrow room. By keeping the walls light the room seems larger and by focusing the colour and pattern on the ceiling it seems lower.
Is this a trend you'll be trying?
