Ceiling Texture Ideas

Crow's Feet

• The crow's feet texture style creates little raised lines all over the ceiling, so it looks like birds have walked over it. This look diffuses light and looks chaotic in a natural way. You can achieve this look by using a single round texturing brush on a texturing material, like drywall mud and texturing sand.

Knock Down

• The knock down style looks like pieces of paint or drywall have fallen off the ceiling. It makes your house look older and more aged, without actually having structural problems. The look is achieved by spraying material on the ceiling randomly and cleaning it up with hand tools.

Popcorn

• The popcorn texture has little globules of material sticking out of the ceiling, as though someone glued popcorn on it and then painted over the pieces. This style can be very difficult to clean without tearing off all of the little popcorn pieces. You can apply this texture by buying a popcorn texture mix and a texture sprayer.
