Easy Popcorn Cover-Ups that Look Like a Million Bucks

As we’ve mentioned a few times before, removing popcorn texture from your ceilings will really help brighten up your room–but before you dive into the process, it’s very important that you have your popcorn tested for asbestos. Unfortunately for some homeowners, especially those in older homes, asbestos-positive popcorn can only be removed by a hazmat team, and the process comes at a hefty price.

But don’t despair! Even if you can’t remove your popcorn ceilings, trusted experts on popcorn removal in Orlando have a way to get around the dilemma. Here are a few suggestions for covering up your popcorn ceilings to achieve a more beautiful look:

• Decorative tin ceiling tiles. You’ve heard of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, but have you heard of tin ceilings before? Many manufactures now make decorative tin ceiling tiles in an array of styles and patterns, which really help to reflect light and make your ceilings seem taller. You can select from a variety of metallic colors, including silver, copper, and bronze. These tiles would look perfect in a modern kitchen or around a bar area.
• Cloth draping. The best thing about using cloth draping to cover up an ugly ceiling is that you can select just about any type of cloth you want. Most people opt for lighter, more billowy material, creating cloud-like puffs and festive streamers around the room. This idea would be best used in a bedroom–try it out in your child’s bedroom and let their imaginations run wild!
• Acoustic ceiling tiles. A little less flashy than our other two options, acoustic ceiling tiles can be found in a number of simple, appealing patterns and fastened to your ceiling, covering up that ugly popcorn texture. As an added bonus, acoustic ceiling tiles help cancel out noise pollution! This option would be great for an entertainment room, so noise from your video games and loud movies doesn’t echo throughout the house.

Living with popcorn ceilings doesn’t have to be so bad if you just get a little creative with your options! By attaching decorative tiles or draping to your ceiling, you don’t have to put your health at risk by exposing your home to asbestos fibers.
