Drywall Texture Finishes

Drywall texture finishes are a popular way to add visual interest and character to a room. These finishes can be applied to both walls and ceilings and can range from subtle to bold. In this guide, we'll cover some of the most common types of drywall texture finishes and how they're achieved.

Knockdown Texture

Knockdown Texture: Knockdown texture is a popular option that involves spraying joint compound to the surface of the drywall using a specialty sprayer and components. Once the joint compound has partially dried, the peaks are "knocked down" with a trowel or specialty knife to create a flattened, textured surface. The Knockdown texture is less prominent than Popcorn texture but more prominent than Orange Peel texture.

Orange Peel Texture

Orange Peel Texture: Orange Peel texture is a subtle texture finish that involves spraying joint compound onto the surface of the drywall with a specialized spray gun and components. This results in a slightly textured surface that resembles the skin of an orange.

Popcorn Texture

Popcorn Texture: Popcorn texture is a more dated option that involves spraying popcorn ceiling compound onto the surface of the drywall with a specific spray gun.
