You could show the room?

Have the same dilemma in 3 Bathrooms.

1/4 " drywall, tape /skim........the thinnest add.

It's that or live with it and paint: ).

Thank you

Skim coat of drywall compound or paint it lighter, the texture won't show as much.

Flat paint will also help camouflage the texture - if it were me, I probably wouldn’t bother with the mess, I would paint the walls in a fresher color and add simple crown at the top

Skim coat by a good drywall person.

In my house there is one room that has wall texture. the compound they used for it contains asbestos (clearly was done a few decades ago). That would certainly add more cost.

I ended up just covering over the wall with wood planks instead of having it all removed.
