Popcorn ceilings coming back.
It was popular in the 70s.
I think popcorn ceilings have a bad rap for a lot of the reasons you list.
And for some reason the mindset is newer better.
Sometimes called acoustic or textured ceilings popcorn ceilings resemble cottage cheese because of the treatment that is either sprayed or painted on that leaves a bumpy look.
Homeowners might install popcorn ceilings because they don t want to finish the ceiling or they couldn t otherwise conceal its imperfections.
No i have no idea how i come up with this stuff.
Anywho i did want to have the popcorn ceilings removed at the new place if it was in the budget.
They might do their job just fine but they certainly put a date on the house.
I can t see that ever coming back.
As long as the texture isn t sagging flaking or shedding a popcorn ceiling can simply be painted to update the look.
Not because they bothered me so much but mainly because i really wanted to paint the ceiling in colors and even a few patterns here and there.
