Popcorn ceilings were popular decades ago but now feel outdated and can collect dust and allergens. If you're removing popcorn or building new, here are modern alternatives that look great in South Florida homes.

Smooth finish

A completely smooth ceiling is clean and contemporary. It requires skilled drywall work but offers a timeless look. Best for modern and minimalist interiors.

Knockdown texture

Light texture with a subtle, flattened stipple. Hides minor imperfections, adds depth, and is easier to maintain than popcorn. A popular upgrade.

Orange peel

Fine, subtle texture resembling orange peel. Durable, hides imperfections, and works in most rooms. Less dramatic than knockdown.

Skip trowel

Hand-applied texture with a soft, Mediterranean feel. Adds character without the dated look of popcorn.

Considerations

Before removing popcorn, test for asbestos if your home was built before 1980. Danova Renovations can help with testing, removal, and re-texturing.
