I don’t see it as a big deal, I know people who think it’s horrible. When I’m in someone’s house who has it I don’t even notice. A friend of mine bought a house and when I went to visit she said her husband wants the popcorn removed, he was obsessing about it, and I honestly had not even noticed and I generally take an interest in home decor and things related.
I only notice a ceiling when it’s fabulous, like special coffered ceilings, paneling, or lighting.
Actually, I don’t notice decor much unless it wows me or if it looks extremely shabby and stained. Otherwise, as long as it’s comfortable and clean I’m focused on whomever I’m visiting not their taste and style.
