You will notice in the pictures below the difference between ceiling textures and a smooth finish. Textures on the ceilings make rooms appear 3x's less brighter then with the textures removed. This is due to a shadow cast caused by the Stucco/Popcorn textures and make rooms not only appear duller, but smaller as well.
After the texture removal, your rooms will appear "BRIGHTER" and "BIGGER" |
