How can I update my popcorn ceiling to meet today’s trends?
+7
I want to update my ceilings from the dated popcorn ceiling.
I want to keep my cost low since I am on a budget. I do not want to empty each room because I have large furnitur.
I want a update it to a trend that will be around for a while in case we want to sell in the next few years.
Thank you for any advice you can give.

Hi Janice, they make styrofoam ceiling tiles that are really easy to glue up and can be painted. https://www.hometalk.com/diy/floors-ceilings/covering-up-a-very-ugly-ceiling-with-styrofoam-ceiling-tiles-29254181?r=2
Covering up a Very Ugly Ceiling With Styrofoam Ceiling Tiles
Removing is a messy job but can be accomplished by covering furniture. Once done you will have great satisfaction. Have seen ship lap and many styles of ceiling tiles used to cover. Hope this helps.

They now make a foam ceiling tile that is not to expensive, you can put right over that popcorn. If you have tall ceilings you can also take wood slats and cover with whatever design you want. Happy decorating. Oh and what ever you do, where safety glasses. The popcorn will flake off and get in your eyes. That would mean a trip to the Dr. Voice of experience OUCH
I had an ugly ceiling, though not popcorn. I hired a sheet rock guy and he covered it with sheet rock and textured it. I just had to paint it when he was done. It was $400 for a bedroom. For how nice it looks, it was worth it. I get dizzy when I work overhead.
Yes it is. I hope The look is in your future. Will certainly enhance property value. Good luck
If your house was built before the mid 80's, your ceiling could have asbestos in it. Test first.
