Popular Drywall Texture Samples

Orange Peel: A subtle, bumpy texture that resembles the skin of an orange. It’s great for hiding imperfections and works well in modern homes.
Knockdown: Created by spraying texture onto the wall and then “knocking it down” with a trowel for a flattened, mottled look.
Skip Trowel: A hand-applied texture that adds a rustic, Mediterranean feel with its irregular, sweeping patterns.
Popcorn: A heavy, bumpy texture often used on ceilings for soundproofing and hiding flaws (though it’s less popular today).
Smooth Finish: A sleek, polished look that’s perfect for contemporary spaces but requires flawless drywall work.
