3 Trends You Could Try if You Didn’t Have Popcorn Ceilings

Haven’t you heard? Ceilings are in the spotlight when it comes to interior design. Once overlooked, the ceiling has become the perfect place to experiment with colors, textures, patterns, tiles, and designs. In fact, some of our favorite trends of this year have involved incorporating the ceiling as a part of the scheme, and we think nothing makes a room look more polished and complete than a little extra attention upstairs.

Here’s the only catch: If you’re still holding onto your popcorn ceilings, none of these design trends will work. Need a little extra convincing to say goodbye to popcorn? From Orlando’s popcorn removal team at New Ceilings, here are 3 stellar trends you could try if your ceiling were bare:

• Coffered ceilings. Pattern, texture, and depth all in one? Yes, please! A coffered ceiling uses beams laid out in a grid pattern to create movement and visual appeal in any room. Coffered ceilings allow a lot of leeway to experiment with lighting and color. You could paint the negative space a different color than the beams, or install hidden track lighting – if only you didn’t have popcorn ceilings.

• Painted ceilings. Simple and straightforward, painted ceilings have the potential to make your room look completely new. Skip the boring white or beige and go for something bold that contrasts with the rest of the decor. You can even paint your ceiling a sunny orange or buttery yellow to enhance the natural light coming in your windows. Sure, you can paint over popcorn, but the results vary, and removal is twice the chore afterward.
• Paneled ceilings. The best thing about this trend is that your choice of materials is almost unlimited. Whether you choose your favorite wood, beadboard, or something else, paneled ceilings give your home a neat, put-together look with lots of motion. Why would you ever want to stick with the splotchy lumps of popcorn when this is an option?
