DIY Gold Polka Dot Ceiling

30 minute project - create your own gold polka dot ceiling
I spend a good chunk of my at-home time in my studio. I love that space so much—between the full wall of books, the drawers full of crafting supplies and the giant white table where my friends and I sit on my very favorite stools in the entire world and dream and create. When I decided to paint that room bright white I chose that color with the full knowledge that there’d be so much art and color going on that the space would never seem bland at all.

I had always fully intended, however to come back in and add a fun pop of color to the ceiling. While I love the idea of a sky-blue ceiling over my head while I’m crafting away, the thought of removing all the furniture and covering the floor with a drop cloth and taping off all the edges and removing the light fixture made me tired just thinking about it. I was looking up some ideas on Pinterest the other day and found this tutorial from Lauren Conrad that I had been holding on to for an occasion just like this one. Rather than do a gold polka dot wall, however, I decided to do a gold polka dot ceiling.

I ordered this gold contact paper from Amazon and decided to use a friend’s Cricut machine to cut my circles out.

After I cut a few I did a test run and stuck 3 on the ceiling to see how they did. I waited a week and was able to easily peel one off with no damage to the ceiling. I didn’t do a pattern, but just used my eyes to space things out somewhat evenly across the ceiling. This was a pretty easy project  that would be even easier if you just ordered the dots precut, like from here.

I love the touch of luxe they add to this room—just the right amount of gold. Isn’t it fun how it plays off the light as well?

What do you guys think? Would you consider removable decals…I’m kind of digging them! This would be a great solution for a renter as well whether you wanted to create a wall or a ceiling. You could even do it in a different color, I won’t be too upset. 🙂

  3. I just Love this idea!! And I think the gold color
    is fun and adds a bit of sophistication at the same
    time. Ceilings tend to be so overlooked.
    Your idea is fab!!

    1. I think so too! And I love that it’s temporary in case I ever get sick of it (yeah right!).
