How to apply tile patterned wall paper to ceiling.

For the average small wall tiles which are currently popular you will want to use a 1x4 square notch trowel. If the wallpaper has a repeating pattern make sure to match the pattern when measuring you will likely need a longer length of paper. Dry fit the next run across the ceiling from wall to wall. You ll need a good ladder to accomplish this.

If your tiles have lots of cracks make sure to fill them in beforehand with filler or caulk to get them as smooth as possible. You can cover each tile individually or if the surface of the tiles is relatively smooth you can put the wallpaper over the whole ceiling. If you see clear lines then the mortar is too dry. Once the first run of wallpaper is securely hung it will be used as a template for lining up the pattern repeat for the remaining runs.

Mortar a small spot and then place a tile. First apply an even coat of wallpaper paste for the next run. Continue applying wallpaper in the same method using a craft or utility knife to cut holes for light fixtures until the entire ceiling is covered.
