Most people do textures on their interior walls as a decorative piece. If you have drywall installation, the textures will also hide it. When the base is applied on the wall, the outer surface is applied by different textures as per the choice. People use a different type of items for making these textures like a soft brush or any big design.
How do you get Textured Walls?
There are many ways that users get textured walls. Some people will just spray on the wall while others love to add patterns with a soft brush or a comb, rag, or sponge. Some people avoid the hard work, purchase the readymade texture, and apply it using a brush or roll it on the wall.

Textured walls are appealing if you achieve them the right way. The textured plaster is very easy to clean and maintain and will make your home beautiful.
Most Common Textures
There is an unlimited type of wall textures. Indeed, anyone can add textures as per their like but for ease, we will classify them into some major groups.
Directional texture
In this type of texture, all the patterns of the designs direct in the same direction. To get this texture, we will first apply the plaster and will then use any tool to add textures.
Contrasting texture
If you ever saw textures with no specific direction, these were the contrasting ones. They are scattered elements, and everyone is free to apply any texture in this form. A builder will first finish the plaster before he applies the texture. However, don’t let the plaster dry as you can’t make good textures in a dry plaster.
Stone effect
The stone effect is getting less common nowadays because people are more inclined towards the other two. However, if applied perfectly, they look amazing. The stone effects look realistic and create amazing effects in your bedroom. It replicates older classic designs when homes were made from real stones.
Wood Grain texture
The wood grain texture is the most realistic of all because it uses natural grains of wood. Thus, the texture gives a pleasing texture to the plaster. To achieve this, the builder will press large and structured boards on the plaster to replicate the texture.
Special Textures
Some people also love to achieve special textures and you will see this art more common in drawing rooms. They create unique effects using stencils to achieve highly custom objects. The designs are further coated with a decorative finish which creates amazing art on your wall.
