3 Elegant Ceiling Textures for Any Room

Often, when the Orlando popcorn removal team at New Ceilings presents their clients with gorgeous, popcorn-free ceilings, they often feel a sense of liberation. Think about it: since removing the popcorn ceiling on your own is just about out of the question, to avoid potential asbestos exposure and a huge mess, you might have felt like you were doomed to deal with them for the rest of your days. But now that the ugly mottled texture is gone, you’re free to experiment with new visually appealing looks.

Today, we’re bringing you three of the most popular ceiling textures and the rooms they might fit best.

• Smooth Texture: Smooth ceilings are very in vogue at the moment; their clean simplicity lends an air of elegance to any space. A lack of texture makes your ceilings seem much taller, making them perfect for a grand entrance. Try painting the smooth surface with a deep, rich color like coffee or plum for a dramatic statement in your foyer or formal dining room.

• Skip Trowel: This classic ceiling texture, also known as knockdown texture, uses a trowel to create a somewhat random texture of ridges and valleys. Always unique, skip trowel texture creates a lot of movement in a room, making it perfect for an area that gets a lot of light. Try it along the ceilings of your screened-in porch, or accent a bright and open sunroom with knockdown ceilings.

• Mud Swirl: This special texture uses a wide brush and texturing mud to create even, uniform swirls across the ceiling. Each of these swirls looks somewhat like a little rainbow, playing off any light sources and creating a lot of movement and visual interest in any room. This is best for a room of high energy or creativity, like an den, art studio, or office.

Each one of these textures, and the many others available to you, brings with it a unique sense of interest and creates a different atmosphere in each room. However, most of these are no task for amateur home-improvers–they’re best left to the Orlando popcorn removal pros at New Ceilings.
