What should I use to cover up popcorn ceilings in my condo?

I own a beach condo in Delaware that has popcorn ceilings. I’ve read that covering them up is the easier route to go rather than going through the mess of taking everything down.
I would like your suggestions on what would be architecturally interesting to attach to the ceiling in a beach home. Could I use light-weight wood and, if so, what kind?

Hi there, I used bead board on all of my ceilings in my home (it comes in 8x4 sheets like plywood) I've also used styrofoam ceiling tiles that I just glued up in another home. Without a doubt the ceiling tiles were the very easiest way to go and, once their up, they are paintable too. You can see my post about that here http://www.grandmashousediy.com/styrofoam-ceiling-tiles/

Um scrape it off?!!! Seriously the old, most reliable way is to scrape and start over. If is too daunting of a project, cover with plywood or sheet rock (will lower your ceilings) and crown molding. Texture the way you want it and paint. Good luck!
