If you are replacing carpet with LVT which we did in the bedrooms, we used quarter round as the baseboards would be lower and a noticeable line on the walls above the baseboard would show.

Since our house is older, 2001, we took the opportunity to remove the popcorn from the ceiling as well while messes were already being made.
When placing the LVT over the ceramic, what was done to smooth out the profile of the ceramic as nornally the grout lines are lower? I like the concept of not removing the ceramic as that can be a major project. Please advise thank you
