Textured paint ceiling and achieving an even transation

[TheJimi]

I think I already know the answer to this, but our living room ceiling has textured paint (not artex) and while we've skimmed every other room and ceiling, we left the living room ceiling because it was freshly painted and in good condition.

Unfortunately, with a week to go before we move in, we only realised last night that the textured ceiling doesn't make for a neat transition from the wall paint to the ceiling paint.

Skimming the ceiling isn't an option now, as we don't have time.

Any other solution other than to fit coving?

Bodgey options:

Tape a line down from the ceiling by say 5mm and paint that ceiling colour.
Fit a small quadrant - timber or UPVC around the edge.

If you go for coving the lightweight polyurethane type goes up easy and with no mess.

That would be best; a quadrant would look horribly cheap IMHO and out of proportion.

Two lines of 'no-more-nails'-stuff will hold lightweight coving perfectly.
