Benefits of Wall Textures
Hide flaws
One of the best things about installing wall textures is that they can hide minor dents, holes or scratches on the walls. Are you looking for ways to temporarily conceal the dent on your living room wall? Why not use textured paints or textured wallpapers to beautify the wall and conceal the imperfection?
Create visual interest
Feel like your place lacks a showstopper? Why not give your guests something to drool over when you host dinners and tea parties? Textured paints or wallpapers give you a chance to tell a tale and adorn your walls in a way that they demand to be noticed. We recommend you pick up an accent wall and make that the focal point in a room by introducing textures on it.
Add depth
Feel like your space is flat? Don’t think your place has a personal touch? One of the best ways to add character, depth and dimension to your space is by adding textured paints or textured wallpapers into it. It will instantly liven up your space and add an element of personality to it.
How to pick the best interior & exterior wall textures
Match the overall house theme
The worst thing you can do is introduce a vintage-looking popcorn wall texture design in an industrial themed house. You must pay attention to the overall theme of your house before you decide on interior and exterior wall textures. People who have a stone wall inside their homes can go for an exposed stonewall texture for the exterior of their homes. Similarly, people who have a wooden cabin can opt for a wooden panelling texture for the interior of their houses.
Pay attention to environmental factors
Make sure that you pay attention to extreme weather conditions like thunderstorm, rain, and heat, while deciding on an exterior wall texture design for your home.
Keep in mind the natural lighting
Remember to test out your interior and exterior wall textures at different times of the day to observe how the natural lighting affects the textures. Wall textures look different in natural and artificial lighting, so make sure that you sample them before you finalise on a design.
Don’t overdo it
You must never overload a space with too many textures as it will make a space appear cluttered and disorganised. We would recommend you not use more than 2-3 textures in a room to ensure that the textures look well-spaced out. Make sure that if you are mixing textures, then you are pairing together textures that go well with each other. For example, you can pair an exposed brick wall texture design and a subdued popcorn texture in a single room if you own a vintage-themed cabin.
Decide whether you want to hire professionals
Before you decide on the interior or exterior wall textures, it is important to ask yourself whether you are going to DIY your way through the wall texturing process or you will seek professional help. If you are planning to hire a professional, then we recommend that you do your research and choose a wall texture that you love the most without worrying about its complexity. However, if you are adding textures to your walls on your own, we would recommend you opt for easy wall textures which can be achieved using simple tools and won’t require you to have professional equipment. We advise homeowners to hire professionals to introduce texture to their exterior walls as it is difficult to create them as compared to interior wall textures.
