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.

Why Printed Ceilings Work for Modern Homes

Personalised design

Your ceiling becomes a focal point in the room. Unlike paint or plaster, printed ceilings allow for full creative freedom.

Quick and clean installation

Traditional ceiling work can take days. With stretch ceilings, most installations are completed within a single day, without dust or debris. Learn more about our installation process here.

Waterproof and durable

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.
