How Does Drywall Texture Work? 

In a nutshell, texturing is an alternative choice of finish. When a new installation is almost complete, instead of sanding and smoothing, we use various tools to rework the surfaces and give them extra personality.  

Some of the tools and techniques used are: 

• Toweling 
• Spraying drywall compound 
• Using a wall or ceiling texture roller 
• Machine finishing 

Styles of Drywall Texture 

No matter what your tastes and preferences, we have wall texture designing ideas you can fall in love with. Here are a few modern ceiling texture styles that look great in Arizona homes. 

Popcorn texture 

Popcorn walls have been around for decades and are still iconic today. Think the ’50s and ’60s throwback with this retro classic wall texture. Traditionally, this particular style of sheetrock texture is used on ceilings, but it can also be used for a feature wall. Wherever you put it, it has an instantly recognizable aesthetic.  

Popcorn drywall ceiling texture varies in style based on how prominent you want the appearance to be. It is one of the coarsest finishes of all with rough peaks reminiscent of the equally vintage cinema snack. The look is achieved by spraying texture on the ceiling or wall area with specialist drywall compound and then very quickly manipulating it with a machine. 

Knockdown texture 

Don’t worry: knockdown ceiling is not some trend where we demolish your home and leave it like that! Actually, knockdown ceiling texture is a modern favorite in American homes. Because of its subtle appearance, it works well in an understated space. It adds more character and depth than a smooth finish, but without being too in your face. A knockdown ceiling (or California knockdown ceiling as it is sometimes known) is a good choice for a bedroom wall texture.  

We use various techniques to achieve this plaster texture. Depending on how visible or subtle you want the finish to be, we can use spraying, toweling, and rolling.  

Orange peel texture 

There are no prizes for guessing how this one looks! Orange peel ceiling and walls- if done effectively- resemble the look of the skin of an orange. The look is almost bubble-like and can be achieved using plaster or textured wall paint. 

Of all the different ceiling textures, orange peel is the most versatile and beneficial. The quirky wall texture has noise dampening qualities, adds durability to wall and ceiling exteriors, and is perfect for disguising scrapes, bumps, and dents. You find it in many rented homes since it is rather forgiving. If you are considering getting a tenant, you may want to consider this as well.  

Stucco wall texture 

Stucco texture is one of the best wall texture ideas for edgy modern homes. It has a rough, contemporary look that adds instant interest and draws the eye. It also happens to be one of the most difficult textures to apply, which is why we work with highly trained individuals who specialize in this style.  

This artsy plasterboard texture is a winner on all fronts: eco-friendly, energy efficient, durable, quirky, and often fire-resistant: stucco has it all. You can apply it to interior and exterior walls with the help of a professional expert.
