     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT  
       [0028]     A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described herein below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.  
         [0029]      FIGS. 1 through 8  illustrate exemplary embodiments of a ceiling paper according to the present invention, and  FIGS. 9 through 16  illustrate exemplary embodiments of wallpaper according to the present invention.  FIG. 17  illustrates an embodiment of indoor decoration by using an indoor decorative paper of the invention. As shown in  FIG. 17 , the ceiling paper illustrated in  FIG. 1  is pasted on the ceiling, and the wallpaper illustrated in  FIGS. 9, 14  and  16  is pasted on walls.  
         [0030]     Referring to  FIGS. 1 through 8 , the ceiling paper has no distinctive patterns in upper and lower parts. The pattern can be composed of a variety of designs and colors, or can be embossed. Moreover, the front surface of the ceiling paper can have one single color with no pattern. This type of ceiling paper has no distinction in every direction so it provides people with a feeling of stableness.  
         [0031]     On the other hand, the wallpaper illustrated in  FIGS. 9 through 16  has distinctive patterns between upper and lower parts. As shown in  FIGS. 9 through 16 , distinctive upper and lower patterns do not necessarily indicate that the patterns are all upside down or inclined, but indicate that the patterns are where they are supposed to be. Therefore, by decorating the walls and the ceilings with these wallpapers and ceiling papers, people feel more secure and are emotionally stable.  
         [0032]     The patterns of the wallpaper can be composed of a variety of designs and colors, or one single color. Moreover, the front surface of the ceiling paper can have one single color with no pattern. Preferably, each of the patterns on the wallpaper is a different design, as illustrated in  FIGS. 9 through 16 . Therefore, by designing the front surface of the wallpaper with different patterns, people feel differently every time they see it, and as a result, they can refresh themselves.  
         [0033]     Although the patterns of the wallpaper are preferably composed of shapes of human beings, animals, and plants, in some cases, they can be plants or animals, as shown in  FIGS. 14 and 15 .  
         [0034]     Preferably, the colors of the ceiling paper and the wallpaper can be the same, or harmonized, or contrasted. More preferably, the colors of the ceiling paper and the wallpaper can be diverse as many as possible.  
         [0035]     The more diverse the designs and the colors are, the better and the more refreshing. Typically, the related art wallpaper or ceiling paper had no pattern or was simply embossed, which is more like painting the wall with one color. This type of wall usually gives people a feeling of monotonous, and people become emotionally dry. Worse than all, people did not have many options because most of the related art wallpapers or ceiling papers were like that.  
         [0036]     The decorating method using the wallpaper and the ceiling paper according to the present invention includes pasting the wallpaper on the walls, and pasting the ceiling paper on the ceilings.  
         [0037]     More specifically, an adhesive is applied to the rear surface of the wallpaper having distinctive patterns between upper and lower parts, and then the wallpaper is pasted on the walls.  
         [0038]     Similarly, an adhesive is applied to the rear surface of the ceiling paper having no distinctive patterns between upper and lower parts or having no patterns, and then the ceiling paper is pasted on the ceilings.  
         [0039]     Although the sequence is not important, preferably the wallpaper is first pasted and the ceiling paper is pasted later.  
         [0040]     There is nothing better than wallpaper or ceiling paper to change the indoor decoration. With the application of the wallpaper and the ceiling paper of the present invention, people can enjoy different patterns, such as objects (including humans), characters, conceptual designs, and others, on the same wallpaper. Every time people see the wallpaper, they feel new yet friendly, and become more stable.  
         [0041]     While the invention has been described in conjunction with various embodiments, they are illustrative only. Accordingly, many alternative, modifications and variations will be apparent to persons skilled in the art in light of the foregoing detailed description. The foregoing description is intended to embrace all such alternatives and variations falling with the spirit and broad scope of the appended claims.
