With rounded drywall corners you are going to have a potential issue with how to break up a room while painting. For the experts among us this may not be an issue but for me it would be.Same for installing wall paper but not many people do this today! As far as look..im neutral on rounded corners.
I agree totally. Remodeled our Ohio house 4 years ago, went from straight tile to diagonal in the kitchen and it really DOES make especially a small room look larger.

I personally love all the different and sometimes vibrant wall colors I see down here. I stayed pretty neutral in our living room/kitchen/dining area but still didn't paint all the wall, just some, ending in the corners or on a straight side. Plan to get a little more daring in the bedrooms/baths/laundry, just trying to decide what colors. I vote for the straight walls, not rounded.
