Wall Texture / Ceiling Texture

Wall texture and ceiling texture hide imperfections and other problems. As well, the texture and color of drywall can change the entire look of a room, adding beauty or an interesting design.

Drywall texture can be created in a variety of ways, including:

Slap Brush Ceiling Texture | Crows Feet Ceiling Texture 

Crows Feet Texture

Also known as Slap Brush, Panda Paw or Stomped Ceiling texture ... it is still very popular today but can be found quite frequently in older homes as well.

Knockdown Ceiling Texture 

Knockdown Texture

Another popular wall or ceiling texture with a stucco-like finish which requires two coats but only takes one day to complete.

The name comes from the leveling off that is done at the end of the process, which "knocks down" the high points in the texture.

Drywall Texture Tips

Drywall texturing is a beautiful alternative to paint or wallpaper. Wall texture and ceiling texture are both interior design techniques that bring a sense of depth and interest to your rooms.

It is a decorating element that you can both see and touch. In addition, drywall texturing camouflages dents, dings, and general disrepair.

And it is a frugal option for those who want to dramatically change the look of a room without huge expense.

Since drywall texturing comes in a variety of patterns and thicknesses, keep a sense of scale. Textures can be used to break up large spaces, create a formal atmosphere or a more casual feel.

However, a smaller room can look busy or chaotic if overwhelmed with detailed texture and a bigger room can swallow the look of the texture altogether if it isn't dramatic enough.

Rougher textures absorb more light than smoother textures, making a room seem slightly darker. Rough wall or ceiling texture may not be desirable in low-light areas of your home like basements.

Rough textures can trap dust and generally be harder to clean. However, a rough texture creates a rustic look that is very cozy.

Smooth ceilings are becoming very popular again. It's a classic look, and can be very formal. More and more homeowners are opting for popcorn ceiling removal in trade for the gentler knockdown texture or a creamy smooth ceiling style.
