The popcorn ceilings make it seem like the room is airy and welcoming. They provide a sense of well-being and an experience like no other when looking at them from the bed. The popcorn ceilings in hotel rooms are a visual design feature that has been around for decades. The Housekeeping department in New York invented having a roof made up of corn kernels from the 1930s. Popcorn ceilings may seem random, but they have been there to provide guests with a feeling of being at home while also offering guests all the comforts they would be expecting from a hotel room.
