Popcorn ceilings can be frightful. Don’t let a popcorn ceiling give you nightmares. Cover it up with charming wood-look planks or vintage-style metal ceiling tiles.
Cover Popcorn Ceilings
If a popcorn ceiling (or stained and damaged drywall or plaster) is making your home look outdated, it’s time to trade that frumpy, bumpy texture for something stylish and inviting.
Removing a popcorn ceiling is a messy, time-consuming job. Fortunately, in most cases, it’s not necessary because you can easily cover up that unsightly texture with ceiling panels or planks. Most options easily install directly over your existing popcorn ceiling using the EASY UP track and clip installation system. In as little as a weekend, you can hide that ugly ceiling and start enjoying a decorative one that will completely change the look of your room.
The most irresistible ceiling styles also happen to be affordable options for covering a popcorn ceiling. They beckon with the shimmer of patterned metal, the richness of wood, the delightful charm of beadboard, or the essence of old world plaster.
