Homeowners across Great Britain and Ireland are raising the DIY stakes, quite literally, as interest in ceiling décor surges, according to new research from family-run wall mural specialists By Haleys.

Using data from Pinterest, they found searches for the term ‘ceiling wallpaper’ have increased 50% over the last year; while searches ‘ceiling décor’ and ‘wallpapered ceiling’ are also on the rise.

Richard Haley, Creative Director of By Haleys, said: “A coat of white paint is so often the go-to for ceilings but now we are starting to see homeowners embrace every inch of surface to express the character of the home.

“The ceiling is fast becoming referred to as the fifth wall and homeowners are starting to treat it in the same way as any other wallspace and making it a key part of their décor.”

A made-to-measure mural is a great option for adding visual impact and dimension to the ceiling.

By Haleys panoramic designs are incredibly bold and have been created so consumers feel the story behind the design. The Yorkshire-based studio also offers customers the flexibility to choose the exact portion of the mural they desire, ensuring a perfect fit for any ceiling space.

Richard added: “For murals to have a true impact on the ceiling, it’s really important designs are not squashed to fit. Our clients can tell us the dimensions of their ceiling and we will create a mural that perfectly covers the space without being compressed.”

By Haleys’ panoramic murals have been designed to transform interior schemes with their breathtaking artistry. Each is inspired by the serene landscapes of West Yorkshire, where the studio is based, and been designed to bring nature into the home.

By Haleys’ range of murals are available now, priced from £48 per m2.
