Otherwise known as a stipple, stucco, or acoustic, a popcorn ceiling is one of a variety of spray-on or paint-on treatments. A popcorn ceiling is different than a textured ceiling in that the latter implies a stomp or sprayed drywall mud finish. Builders love any kind of textured ceiling because it hides imperfections very effectively. A textured ceiling also affects the sounds in the room by eliminating an echo. Designers often suggest a textured ceiling because it can add to the feeling of coziness to a room, kind of like carpet for the floor. If you're looking to update your home and make it look as contemporary as possible, removing the popcorn ceiling is a great option for you.
