Wallpaper can be used to mimic the look of a tin ceiling
Textured ceilings can enhance the look of any room in your home. One type of ceiling that you can install is a faux tin ceiling. It's not difficult to use wallpaper to create the look of an authentic tin ceiling. First, determine what type of design or pattern you want to use.
Instructions
1. Open the door to the circuit panel and turn off the breaker for the room where the faux tin ceiling will be installed.
2. Climb up on the ladder and remove any air vents and light fixtures from the ceiling. Remove the screws that secure the vents and fixtures with a screwdriver.
3. Measure the length of each wall in the room with the tape measure and divide by two. Mark the center of each wall with a pencil.
4. Place the end of the chalk line on a mark on the wall. Run the chalk line to the mark on the opposite wall. Pull the chalk line tight and snap a line. Repeat this step for the two marks on the remaining walls. Where the two line cross is the center of the room.
5. Roll out the faux tin wallpaper to use for the ceiling. Measure and cut the wallpaper into 12-by-12 inch squares or 24-by-24 inch squares with the scissors.
6. Apply wallpaper glue to the back of the first sheet of tin ceiling wallpaper with a paintbrush. Place the wallpaper into a corner where the chalk lines intersect. Repeat this step for the remaining corners of the chalk line.
7. Place additional pieces of wallpaper on the ceiling, working your way outwards towards each wall.
