How Do You Decorate Ceilings With Fabric?
Decorating a ceiling with fabric is a great way to cover up an ugly ceiling and dramatically change the look of an entire room. There’s no need to fix cracks in the ceiling or paint over stains–you simply cover them up. Because you don’t have to spread and smooth patch compound or deal with paint splatters, you don’t need to cover furniture with drop cloths or deal with paint fumes. For a traditional look, put up plain white or off-white fabric. If you want to have a little fun, look for fabric that has a cloud or star pattern to create the look of a sky. Determine the amount of fabric you need. Measure in inches across the narrowest part of the room. This is the direction you will be running your fabric. Divide this number by 36 to get the number of yards. If you come up with a fraction, round up to the next yard. Record this number as “A.” Measure across longest part of the room, and divide this number by 42. Again, if you come up with a fraction, round up to the next highest whole
