Doesn’t matter where the paper should run , you should measure the ceiling and fine the middle and place the first paper there then work you way out towards the end

Jan · Answer

Consider using wallpaper on the top of the walls as well as the ceiling in a small space like this one, as it will give your choice greater impact than an above-only display. White wall tiles will let the paper’s colours do all the talking.

I always start where the ceiling meets the wall and work towards the window

Diggory · Answer

Find the centre line of the room and lay your first sheet in the middle of that line and work your way out both sides.

Martin · Answer

Usually by the window for Example if your looking at window  I would start at that point going left to right  and working away from the window towards the door 
Have a practice don't paste paper just find a Comfortable height to work from first then go for it
Also your want a straight line to work off same as wallpapering a wall hope this helps and good luck

Alan · Answer

When hanging patterned wallpaper to the ceiling it's desirable to centre the paper in the middle of the ceiling to an enable an even pattern effect across the whole ceiling. For odd shaped rooms (and therefore ceilings) it probably best to hang the longest length of paper first and work away from there.
