This specific wallpaper pattern was used on the ceiling in our Victorian style home. The wallpaper website provided basic information, not specific to hanging wallpaper on the ceiling.  After finding directions online, the process went smoothly. There was no real instruction/advice for choosing the best type of paint to enhance the subtle pattern. After Googling paint websites, we learned that while we originally chose flat paint for both the walls and papered ceiling, the ceiling wallpaper needed a slight 'sheen' to bring out the pattern definition. We applied a second coat of paint with a satin finish on the ceiling. That subtle paint adjustment made the aesthetic difference necessary to bring out the beauty of the wallpaper pattern.
