Maybe, but when I leave this house it will probably be feet first so I'm not concerned about that.
At any rate, already decided to not bother with a textured ceiling.
thanks!

Stone castles had beautiful tapestries hanging on the walls. They weren't just for decoration.

Just hang pictures, quilts. Add room dividers and tall things. A ficus plant or two.
Textured ceilings are to hide poor drywall mud. Just good enough to get the job done.
They are also hard to repair. You can't match popcorn ever. You can do OK on knockdown and splatter, but it will never vanish.

Both my shops had less echo after I textured the ceiling. Concrete and hardwood floors though. if you carpet or put down rugs, it will help also.

yup.
there are quite a few options available for sound absorbing art and things. prolly a bit more than back in the day.
