Star Wallpaper: Achieve the Perfect Sky at Home

Choosing star wallpaper from Sweet Papaya will make your rooms feel comfortable, evoking the beauty of the night, even during the day.

We work with custom production, and if you make a mistake or want to expand, we'll repeat the exact piece without forcing you to buy a 10-meter roll.

In addition, we use high-quality domestic raw materials made in Barcelona for all our wallpapers for wall and offer true customization in colour, scale, pattern rhythm, and more.

Usage Ideas: Children's, teen's, living room, and the ceiling!

• Kids: pastel backgrounds with a small star. Paint the rest in neutral tones (off-white, linen) and add textured textiles.
• Teen: medium gray with graphite stars or petrol blue with silver. Combine with geometric lines in cushions or rugs for a modern feel.
• Living Room: a single wall in navy blue with gold behind the sofa, with a slim top moulding and warm lamps.
• Ceiling: the literal "sky." It looks spectacular in small rooms! Place it in a studio and the enveloping effect will be unique; using small stars and spotlights is key.

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Clean with a slightly damp cloth and neutral soap on washable vinyl/non-woven fabric.
• Avoid harsh products, especially on metallic finishes.
• To protect joints, go over them with a roller occasionally if you notice a "lip."

If any specific damage occurs, document the width, height, and design reference. Remember that you can request an identical strip in our store, and we'll print it with the same pattern without having to buy extra material.

And if you want to remove it at some point in the future, pull diagonally from the top. If you notice resistance, warm it with warm air. Non-woven fabric usually comes out in large sheets without removing the paint, as long as the base is well primed.

Step-by-Step Installation and Professional Tips

• Preparation: Smooth, dry, and clean wall. Prime if the paint is very absorbent or sandy.
• Tools: Sharp utility knife, long metal ruler, laser or plumb line, rubber/felt spatula, joint roller, clean rags.
• First strip: Score a perfectly vertical line. Apply from top to bottom, slowly, leaving 3–5 cm of excess.
• Joining: Lay out the second strip dry, align the stars, and then adhere.
• Cutting: Always use a new utility knife and a hard ruler; the metallic shine of gold reveals "bitten" cuts.
• Bubbles: From the centre to the edges. If a pocket appears, puncture it slightly and reposition.
  
• Finishing: Go over joints with a roller. Immediately clean off any glue residue (especially on metallic finishes).

Follow our clear installation guide, and you'll achieve a more than professional finish. Order your star wallpaper today from Sweet Papaya.

Frequently Asked Questions about Star Wallpaper

How many rolls or strips do I need to wallpaper a wall with stars?

Calculate the wall width ÷ the strip/roll width to know how many strips you need. Add 1 extra strip if the pattern requires matching. For height, add 5–10 cm of margin at the top and bottom. You can ask us to cut them to the exact height to minimize waste and make matching the stars easier.

Can star wallpaper be used in bathrooms or kitchens?

Yes, choose vinyl or washable non-woven wallpaper, with good ventilation and avoiding direct contact with water. Prime the wall if it's highly absorbent and seal the joints well.

How to clean and maintain star wallpaper, especially metallic wallpaper?

For matte or washable non-woven wallpaper, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. For vinyl wallpaper, you can use a little more scrubbing. For metallic stars, clean gently and without abrasives to avoid damaging the shine. Remove any glue residue during installation to avoid halos.

Can I wallpaper the ceiling with a starry sky design?

Yes, and the effect is spectacular. Using a small star, cut strips 2–3 cm longer, work with an assistant, and ensure a well-primed base. Lay out each strip dry, align it with the guideline, and glue from the centre to the edges to avoid bunching.

What are the aesthetic differences between matte, satin, and metallic finishes on stars?

Matte hides imperfections and is the most versatile. Satin enhances colour and provides a subtle shine. Metallic (gold/silver) adds light and sophistication; it's a good idea to finish cuts and joints with special care so that the reflection doesn't reveal the joint.
