All these different wall textures provide a distinctive look to the walls without harming the environment and immediately lift the appeal of the home’s interior. 

 

Classifying wall textures includes segregating popular classifications of paint and much more.

 

Let us take a look at some different types of wall textures:

1. Popcorn Wall Texture

Popcorn wall textures have been around since the 70s for their excellent look even today. The justification behind this kind of texture's prominence is that it's extraordinary at concealing flaws, and it can even assist with subduing sound among floors and dividers.

In any case, the best part about this way of finishing is its do-it-myself and direct appeal. All you need is the paint, an air blower, and a container.

 

The popcorn texture is a blend of drywall mud and polystyrene, and it arrives in a standard white tone, so it's ideal to be used on any wall. Blend the popcorn paint with water, adhering to the guidelines on the bundle, and install safely. 

 

Try to cover all surfaces and things that are not to be splashed. When the rest of the room is appropriately protected, spray away the rest painted. The surface can be painted with any shading you need after it has dried.

2. Comb Wall Texture

The comb-like wall texture can be achieved by making different widths and shapes lines in the drywall compounds. This procedure is regularly used to create a rehashed series of rainbow designs on the drywall and is one of the most simplified finishing touches for walls. 

 

This technique requires a drywall compound, a roller, and a drywall scoop with uniformly divided teeth (or crooked teeth if you are going for a less coordinated example). 

 

Apply the drywall compound to the divider utilizing the roller, then, at that point, use the teeth of the scoop to apply lines in the wet mixture tenderly. 

 

If you focus on unique concentric circles, practice your imaginative abilities on an extra piece of the drywall before endeavoring them on your divider. Allow the surface to dry for 24 hours before preparing and painting.

3. Orange Peel Wall Texture

An orange peel wall texture looks as it sounds. You should start preparing for this texture early and ensure the wall surface is smooth and oil-free so that paint can adhere to it. Get a container with an air-flexible valve, an air blower, and a drywall compound. 

 

Blend the drywall compound with water until it turns into the consistency of thick paint or a soupy flapjack player, then empty it into your container. Shower a modest quantity from the container onto a test piece and change the air valve to suit the splash design that you need. 

 

You ought to shoot little splatters of a compound onto the divider to make the ideal surface, however not wholly covering the prepared drywall under. Attempt both substantial splatters and light splatters, and when you are sure about the splash design, start to apply it to the dividers; in the wake of drying, prime and paint the finished walls.

4. Knockdown Texture

The knockdown method resembles much like the texture of the plaster. Knockdown texture can be accomplished by adding a stage to the orange strip method: After applying an orange strip surface to the desired consistency, straighten the pinnacles and knock that structure in the drywall compound utilizing a knockdown blade. 

 

Bigger rooms will probably require a holding up time of around 10 to 15 minutes in the wake of splashing before the pinnacles can start to be straightened, while a more extensive room can most likely be begun when you are done showering. 

 

Be cautious with timing! If you start straightening the drywall compound too soon, the knockdown blade will leave lines from the edges of the blade. And if you see this happening, stop and wait for five or 10 minutes. 

5. Sand Swirl

Sand swirl texture adds a vibe of unique style to your house interiors without asking for attention. Hold the paintbrush by the base, as this will give you more control than holding the handle. Dip the brush a couple of times into the paint, wiping it on one or the other side of the container to eliminate free dribbles. 

 

Try to make a swirling design on an extra piece of the drywall before moving onto the wall. Use the brush, start at the actual top of the divider, making a central circle with an open base. 

 

Each line of this swirl example will hide the lower part of the last column. Apply twirls to a 5-foot area, plunging the brush into the paint after each whirl, then, at that point, return to your beginning stage and drop down one line. 

 

Keep working your direction around the room until you are finished; then, at that point, let it dry. Following a 24-hour drying period, you can prime and paint the dividers. 

6. Slap Brush

The slap brush wall texture makes a great example of a unique texture for your walls that can add an unconventional style to any room. All you need to achieve this texture is a roller, a twofold crow's foot drywall surface brush (otherwise called a slap brush, accessible on Amazon), and a drywall compound. 

 

Blend your compound with water to get a thick consistency, then apply it evenly to the wall using the roller. Complete paint in batches to get the slap brush texture. 

 

Apply drywall compound to each side of the slap brush in a thin layer, and afterward, start slapping the central portion of the wall with the brush. There is no hard and fast rule on which way you should start painting, so you can work your way either way you like. 

 

When the main wall is covered, roll the following 5-foot space of the divider, and apply the slap brushing to the leftover sections. Repeat the steps until you have finished the room. Let the paint dry for 24 hours before priming the wall and paint the room.
