A simple guide: What is the 5th wall? And how to embrace it!
The hidden gem
In interiors the ceiling can often be forgotten about. But it’s a hidden gem, hidden in plain sight.
So let’s embrace that 5th wall by adding a bold statement wallpaper!

This take is a great way to dip your toe into pattern drenching. It’s also perfect for adding interest to those areas of your home that don’t get much light - and where you can’t possibly hang any more artwork… enter the ceiling.
Think hallways and stairs in terraced homes or Victorian semis, or even a downstairs bathroom in a new build.
Tips for Choosing Ceiling Wallpaper
Opt for a paste the wall wallpaper to make application much easier overhead.
Choose a pattern that isn’t too obviously directional - “top” and “bottom” don’t really apply on a ceiling, so a more forgiving design works best.
If you live in an older property, try to avoid check or very structured patterns. Like walls, ceilings aren’t always perfectly straight, and these designs can highlight any unevenness.
