You can use a wall, but you sometimes run into issues with that since it can pick up any reflections from the lights. You'll often see a lot of "hot spots" that get picked up in shots. You'd probably need to go with a specialty paint (non-glossy) to help eliminate that.
With that said, you can even shoot natural light (open window) with a wall, room, etc.. being it's own backdrop and not needing to spend any money on it.
If you want to go for the ceiling mounts, they make some great options -- I use this one: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/5210-REG/Manfrotto_2961_Complete_AutoPole_Expan_Kit.html
This one sits nearly flush against a wall, has 2 poles that expand from floor to ceiling with rollers to throw paper onto.. but it's pricey.
If you're fine attaching things to the wall, this set is about 1/10th the price:

Same idea, but it connects directly into the wall.. it has 3 rollers (so you can attach 3 different types of paper.. white/black/grey or any combination) and when you're done it all just rolls up to the ceiling (you pull the chain one way to move the backdrop down, the other to pull it back up)
Paper is good to get a nice variety - sometimes black is perfect, other times you might want to use a bright color or 'fun' colors with it instead.
