Popcorn ceilings are staying for now since it's expensive/disruptive to get them removed, and we're looking at raising the ceilings anyways.

is there a name for that floor pattern?

that's a really cool color ensemble, nice work. my only thought is to move the table closer to the sofa, which will allow people on the sofa to easily use it. then put a small table between the two chairs. this would also give more clearance on that side.

Textured ceilings hide defects of which ceilings tend to have a lot of. Same reason for other textures like knockdown

I can't tell if the other posters are dense or being sarcastic-- but popcorn ceilings and knockdown texture exist to build houses faster and cut corners.

I didn't realize just how much water damage my ceiling in my bathroom had until I removed the popcorn and noticed the sagging drywall. The water damage was due to a leaking vent stack boot that was replaced with a lead(?) vent stack when I had the roof replaced.

My house has heavy knockdown texture on the walls and I hate it, but it would've been too difficult to flatten by hand-- and probably too costly to tear the house down to studs and replace all of the drywall.

In some houses the master suite becomes so big it's basically a studio apartment. Gotta fill the space somehow. The master suite can also become the room you actually live in. The living room is kept for entertaining.

I think the official name for it is fingerblock parquet.

You're totally right about the tables. I do need to find a side table for between the chairs, and something to tie together the room with the entryway. I spend an embarrassing amount of time scouring vintage sales on Instagram for the perfect thing.
