How to Paint Paintable Wallpaper on the Ceiling

Paintable wallpaper is often textured and placed in rooms to create an elegant look. However, unlike other textured ceilings you don’t have to worry about the painted wallpaper crumbling or falling apart on your head. You can use normal paint rollers to paint your wallpaper ceiling, but you should use ceiling paint since it’s thicker and sticks to the ceiling better than normal paint.
