Design Crush: Wallpapered Ceilings

When it comes to wallpaper, your life can become really expensive, really fast.  But with so many beautiful wallpapers out there, it would be a shame to skip out on it completely, which is why I totally love the idea of papering a ceiling.  Wallpaper can add such great visual interest to a room, and on a ceiling it has the opportunity to pop even more than if it were on all four walls.  Think of your ceiling as an accent wall -- the perfect place to paper.  Here are some beautiful examples that this post just couldn't do without.

Paisley-like wallpaper instantly glams up this dining room (the mirrored credenza helps out a bit, too!).

Surrounded by this soft purple striped wallpaper, this room is sweet and cottage-inspired.

A graphic-print wallpaper is seemingly random and unexpected in this small space -- but it works!

What do you think of wallpapered ceilings?
