Even on Ceilings?

Featured Style: Hamptons

If you’re wondering if Stikwood can be used on the ceiling, the answer is YES! Keep in mind that you will need your ceiling to be smooth in order to install your planks properly. If your ceiling has texture of any kind, you'll want to start by sanding it down to a smooth, flat surface. This allows your peel and stick wood to grab on correctly and stay put.

We have been in awe of some of the designs our clients have used to incorporate their ceilings into their interior design visions. With a variety of styles to choose from, using Stikwood on your ceiling can help brighten up a room, make use of otherwise wasted space, or help those low ceilings appear taller. There are just so many possibilities!

The design layout of your planks can also add to the unique character of your ceiling. To give the appearance of a taller ceiling, try arranging your planks lengthwise or at an angle to draw attention to the center of the ceiling. If you’re going for a more unique look, give a Chevron pattern a try. Have fun with your ceiling design and let your imagination run free.

A New Dimension - Vertical Stikwood

Featured Style: Minimalist Fir

You can also add your unique style with the layout and pattern of your Stikwood on your walls, bars, and kitchen islands. Just like with your ceilings, the layout of your wood planks can help the rest of the room appear taller or wider. With a vertical layout, you’ll add the appearance of height to any room—try this look around your windows. You’ll find you can open up the room while making your windows the new focal point. Who wouldn’t love the look of floor-to-ceiling windows?

For those smaller spaces in your home, take advantage of your Stikwood by installing it horizontally to open up your room. Another great tip is to alternate the pattern layout or use a diagonal or Chevron design; you'll draw the eye away from the size of your small space by making your patterned Stikwood wall the focal point. Pretty genius, right?
