Option 2 Orange Peel Texture to replace your Popcorn Ceilings
Another popular trend and one you will find in many new home builds is an orange peel texture finish. Although the thought of your walls and ceilings looking like an orange may turn you off, an orange peel texture is a nice simple ceiling texture than can bring a fresh look to your home. You may also know this texture by its other names such as stipple, splatter finish, or eggshell. It is a subtle texture that can look great.
An orange peel texture is fantastic for hiding imperfections in your homes walls and ceilings. You can pair orange peel texture with a matte/ flat interior paint to make imperfect walls and ceilings look flat and level. Orange peel texture is the number one choice for rental homes and businesses or anyone who wants a subtle texture instead of popcorn ceilings.
Option 3, replace your popcorn ceilings with a knock down texture finish
If you currently have popcorn ceilings and like the idea of a more rustic farmhouse look or prefer a deep heavy texture finish to your walls or ceilings. Our third pick is the right texture for you. Knockdown texture is similar to what you may find on the exterior stucco finish of your home. Closely resembling some forms of skip trowel or other Mediterranean texture finishes giving your walls and ceilings some depth.
Knockdown texture is a fantastic choice if you have an older home with uneven walls and ceilings and want to modernize it from your current popcorn ceilings. Knock down texture is similar to Orange Peel, although it has the tips ‘knocked down’ to make more flat ridges in your walls and ceilings.
Bonus Option For Replacing Your Popcorn Ceilings
So you want to remove popcorn ceilings and replace the ceiling texture but are still not sure which of the above options is right for you?
One often overlooked choice is to have a mix of two textures. By alternating the drywall texture on your walls with the ceilings on your interior, you can create a visual separation between your walls and ceilings. The same drywall texture on your walls and ceilings can sometimes cause a room to feel small and cluttered.
The most popular choice for having a different drywall texture on your walls to ceilings is to have textured ceilings, either orange peel or knockdown finish, and have your walls finished level 5 / smooth finish.
Using two different textures will create a nice contrast and can be amplified by your paint selection. Selecting alternate colors for your interior walls to your ceilings will create a feeling of more space.
