Today, I added ceiling paper and flooring to the second floor since the partition is completely dry. I created templates for the ceilings and floors in each room, applying the ceiling paper to these templates and installing them as I did on the first floor. For the flooring, I used tile in the bathroom and carpet in the bedroom. These templates are very helpful for achieving a smooth and even look. The original floors of this dollhouse were rough on the second level due to the removal of the original carpet, but now they look great. I also started adding trim around the floors and ceilings.
Because these rooms are square, installing the different flooring types was straightforward. The carpet and tile sheets were large enough to cover the entire area. However, for more complex rooms with many angles or larger spaces than the available sheets, I recommend using hardwood instead of carpet or tile printed paper, as you cannot join these sheets seamlessly.
Like on the first floor, I had to join the ceiling paper since it wasn't large enough to cover the entire ceiling. I made sure the joined edge faced the front of the dollhouse so it wouldn’t be visible from the back. The pattern didn’t match up perfectly due to how it was printed, but it’s not noticeable.
The carpet sheet I purchased had a thick foam backing, making it easy to apply glue for adhesion. If your carpet sheet lacks backing, avoid applying glue directly to it, as it can soak through and create permanent stains. Instead, lay it on top of the template without adhesive; the baseboards will keep it in place. If any door trim obstructs the flooring, use a craft knife to trim it so that the flooring fits underneath. Once your carpet is installed, cover it with plastic to protect it during remodeling. Carpet cannot be repaired if stained with glue or paint, so it's wise to take precautions, especially since miniature carpet can be quite expensive. You can use the plastic cover that came with the carpet sheet for this purpose.
