We moved in August 2012 to our first house built in 1989. It feels like an incredibly well-built single-story corner house. Now that winter and the cold have come, "folds" have appeared on the ceiling in the living room. Long lines that look like when you crumple a piece of paper. Could it be that the plasterboards are being compressed by movements in the house? Or is it something else... Anyone with similar experiences?

Post some cool close-ups, but it sounds like the joints in the plaster are haunting.
 
Guessing that it's the pappreman between the drywall seams that's getting compressed. Have the same thing on a wall here at home...
 
That's my guess too. Talked to the sellers who said they never noticed anything like that during their 7 years in the house. Also called our surveyor who inspected the house in June 2012 and thought it could be due to extremely dry humidity so far this winter...

A crack along a textured interior wall, possibly due to low humidity.
