Swore off corner beads for years, but a curved wall installation shifted my view.
I considered them bulky and unnecessary for straight runs. Handling that radius made me appreciate their structural integrity.

Okay, but is it really that serious? (Like, for a curved wall, sure, but generally?) I've always seen them as more hassle than they're worth.

Have you considered how off-kilter patterns can throw off a whole room? I read this case study where a homeowner tried to skip precise alignment on a flat wall, @riley_wood84, and the mismatch was so distracting it actually lowered their property appraisal. That installer mentioned that even a millimeter shift in a geometric print creates optical illusions that cheapen the space. For example, herringbone designs require EXACT cuts or the flow breaks completely. It's not just a hassle; it's about preserving intent and value. Once you see a botched job, you realize why pros are so meticulous.
