Freshen up the walls of your home interior with a modern drywall texture. Here are some worth checking out.
Types of Wall Textures
Many different kinds of drywall textures are available, making it easy to choose a look that’s right for you.
Knockdown
This drywall texture has a splattered look and is growing in popularity. It conceals flaws, adds aesthetic appeal, and is easy to apply.
Orange Peel
This option resembles the skin of an orange. The surface is cracked and has some minor wrinkles. The orange peel texture conceals flaws and adds a subtle touch of depth to a space.
Sand Swirl
This texture has the appearance of artwork and also mimics sand dunes. It’s common on walls and ceilings in many modern homes.
Slap Brush
This freeform technique creates a pattern of irregular lines on the walls. Also called ‘crow’s feet’, it resembles a fan-like effect.
Comb
The comb texture creates lines of various widths and shapes on drywall. A repeated rainbow pattern is common. The comb texture makes a great accent wall.
Popcorn
This was a classic look in the 1970’s. The popcorn texture hides imperfections and helps absorb sound. Its popularity has gone down, but it’s still found in many homes.
Benefits of Textured Walls
Texturing adds dimension to walls and hides imperfections that can be challenging to cover up. Texturing protects the paint on walls, reduces noise between rooms, and gives walls a unique, personal look. Many homes feature textured accent walls. Drywall is popular, relatively inexpensive, easy to install and can be painted or textured to your satisfaction. It also boosts the durability of your walls and ceilings and adds value to your property.
