Popular Drywall Texture Samples

  1. 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.

  2. Knockdown: Created by spraying texture onto the wall and then “knocking it down” with a trowel for a flattened, mottled look.

  3. Skip Trowel: A hand-applied texture that adds a rustic, Mediterranean feel with its irregular, sweeping patterns.

  4. Popcorn: A heavy, bumpy texture often used on ceilings for soundproofing and hiding flaws (though it’s less popular today).

  5. Smooth Finish: A sleek, polished look that’s perfect for contemporary spaces but requires flawless drywall work.
