Ever wondered how would your ceiling look like with tiles on it? If yes, but never had the guts to try, read through, because here are some tips. Oh… in case you didn’t presume yet, I’m talking of sticker tiles, of course, the ones you put on your kitchen floor. First of all, there are a few differences between the floor and the ceiling. The first would be gravity. While the stickers are oriented in different directions, gravity doesn’t change it’s direction, so on your ceiling, tiles will tend to fall instead of being firmly pressed to the surface by both gravity and the weight of furniture and people. So you need heavy “sticky-power”. A good way to improve the stickiness of the glue on the tiles is by heating them up. I suggest sun-power, but go ahead and be creative, those of you living in Alaska.

The other obstacle is paint. You have paint on you ceiling, don’t you? You don’t have to get rid of it, don’t worry. Only be sure that you have good insulation, no water dripping or other humidity coming through the ceiling and no paint bulges. If there are any, repair, or get off… When this is done and the ceiling is prepared, start sticking! As a tip, just like in floor tiling, start it from the largest open space, which in case of the ceiling is the center, so that you get an even and straight tiling. Move towards the walls so that any errors are less visible there.
