Reply to comment by Spare_Interaction_10 in [Question] will DIY popcorn ceiling removal tactics work as well on daybed in plaster? by kharmatika

Thanks for your response! Do you know what this kind of ceiling is called? I can’t find anything that looks like it and I need to see some DIY vids on it

That pattern is from a texture mop/brush. I would call your ceiling a "swirled ceiling ". There's a few different types, knock down,swirl, skip trowel, popcorn , orange peel and... I forgot .
I would sand , skim ,sand, prime with a drywall primer then paint it. Or call a professional

Stiple.

plastic bag over a sponge or float would create the effect.

I call it “mop head” cause that’s kinda how you make it

Found out it’s apparently called “stomp” because the brush is “stomped” on the ceiling.
