Ceilings are often neglected when renovating a home, but they offer untapped potential to transform your interior. For Dublin homeowners looking to replace popcorn or stipple ceilings, custom printed stretch ceilings provide a mess-free, modern solution that adds both style and personality to any room.
These ceiling systems feature high-resolution printed membranes stretched into place, creating a sleek, long lasting finish that can include anything from sky scenes to abstract patterns.
In this guide, we’ll explore stunning ceiling design ideas, the benefits of printed stretch ceilings, and how they can be installed with minimal disruption.
What Are Custom Printed Stretch Ceilings
Printed stretch ceilings are made from a lightweight PVC or fabric membrane, digitally printed with custom designs and stretched across a perimeter track. The result is a smooth, flawless finish that can be adapted entirely to your taste — including your own photos.
You can choose from:
Sky-themed ceilings
Wood or marble textures
Nature photography
Personal photos, digital artwork, or custom graphics
Company branding or commercial visuals
Anything personal and fully custom, from family portraits to one-of-a-kind designs
Whether it's a favourite holiday snap, a family portrait, or your own artwork, we’ll help ensure the image is high resolution and print ready.

Ceiling Design Ideas by Room
Living Room Ceilings
Make a statement with a geometric pattern, galaxy sky, or faux coffered print. Printed stretch ceilings add depth, especially in open plan spaces.
Kitchen Ceilings
Try designs that mimic natural wood grain or introduce bright colours to energise the space. Since they’re moisture-resistant, they’re perfect for cooking areas.
Bathroom Ceilings
Choose tranquil designs like clouds, bamboo, or underwater scenes. Printed stretch ceilings are waterproof and help create a spa-like feel.
Bedroom Ceilings
Go for soft florals, gentle sky prints, or minimalist line art to create a calming retreat. Consider pairing with LED lighting for a stylish finish.
