Top 50 Best Textured Wall Ideas – Decorative Interior Designs

  • Next Luxury / Home Design
  • by — Brian Cornwell

We humans have been gazing upon the walls of our houses since the dawn of construction, with every conceivable scene brought to life before our eyes in the form of frescos, wallpapering, paint, and framed paintings and photographs.

The walls of our homes not only encase and protect us but also offer a canvas upon which to leave our unique style signature.

With so many centuries of options to select from, who would have thought the textured wall would continue to capture the eye of discerning designers and homeowners alike in recent years?

Characterized by a multitude of textures, the contemporary wall is an interior design experience unto itself. From concrete to corrugated metal, corkboard to wooden blocks, there is truly no limit to the inspirational materials with which to craft your personal paradise. A textured wall creates a mood that the traditional painted and papered wall simply can’t achieve.

Whether it’s the funky laid-back vibe of a beach shack or an edgy upscale lounge, a textured wall can transport your interior to a whole new time and place. With so many easily implemented materials and installation options, your textured wall can transform your space in half the time it takes to apply the first coat of paint.

If you can’t decide how you should texture your walls, then we’ve got you covered. Join us as we look at the most popular types of textured walls to give you the inspiration you need to transform your home.

1. Paint Wall Texture

One of the easiest ways to add texture to your walls is with texture paint. This can quickly change a smooth wall into something much more interesting. Textured paint is often applied with a slap brush, but it can also be done with a texture sprayer, stomp brush, or paint roller.

The ability to spray textures onto an entire wall is not only easy but very quick too. Some of the old methods, such as popcorn texture and knockdown texture, are out of fashion, but a simple painted texture wall is a great modern alternative.

2. Wood Accent Wall Texture

One of the best ways to change those flat walls into something much more interesting is with wood accent walls. A wooden wall panel not only helps provide texture to your space but also gives the whole room plenty of warmth.

There are plenty of wooden panels available, which can give the appearance of a meticulously constructed wooden wall. If you want to have something that feels a little more rustic and traditional, this would be a great call.

3. Textured Wallpaper

Another quick and easy way to make your walls more interesting is with textured wallpaper. There is a wide range available that can give you that 3D appearance. Once you stick wallpaper to the wall, it will completely change the feel of the room.

Wallpaper is often seen as giving a bare wall the look of a smooth texture, but that doesn’t need to be the case. Modern removable wallpaper is much more dynamic than just gluing a thin sheet to your wall.

4. Real Stone Accent Wall Texture

If you want to make the biggest statement, then a real stone accent wall will do just that. This is where you have real stone built up against the wall and carefully crafted to create a different texture that is visually stunning.

Having real stone on your wall surface can mean more challenges and, naturally, it’s a fairly more expensive option. The results can be incredible, and you’ll have many people admiring what will be a prominent feature of your home.

5. Faux Stone Accent Wall Texture

If you don’t want real stone, then a great shortcut is to have a faux stone wall. There are a few options for this where you can quickly transform any interior wall into something that will take your breath away.

Faux stone can come in the form of a wall panel that looks like stone or thin individual tiles that can look like a brick wall. Whichever style you choose, a stone textured wall is one of the most popular ways to transform your internal space.

6. 3D Panel Wall Texture

Another method of getting a huge change of style with relative ease and in rapid time is the use of 3D panels. You can purchase these panels that can quickly go up on the drywall with many different styles available.

The beauty of high-quality 3D panels is that they can look like someone spent thousands of hours carefully constructing these texture patterns. Instead, all you’ve done is quickly apply some paneling.

7. 3D Wave Wall

A specific type of 3D panel has become incredibly popular in recent years, and that is the white 3D wave wall. This paneling takes on the appearance of waves, which can be very calming and give your space plenty of peace.

The same effect can be one on drywall texture with Venetian plaster, but even with a master plasterer, the results aren’t going to be quite as beautiful. It’s no surprise why so many people love these panels.

8. Molding Wall Texture

With molding, instead of putting full panels onto your plaster walls, you’re placing some molding to add great drywall texture. You can then paint the entire wall whichever color you like to make the room appear much more interesting.

One of the most popular ways to use molding on your drywall is square patterns across the whole surface. As the molding will be fairly light, you can have a design that sticks out a lot further than with many other texture options.

9. Fabric Wall Texture

An interesting alternative to wallpaper is a fabric wall. This is simply where you find any fabric that you love and glue it to your drywall for a unique wall texture. This allows you to do something unique that no other home will have.

While you can get many kinds of textured wallpaper, a fabric wall will still give you a very different feel and one that you may fall in love with. It’s a bold move but one that can have a spectacular payoff.

10. Brushed Wall Texture

Many brushed wall techniques have gone out of fashion, such as popcorn texture and knockdown texture, but others remain. One of those is Venetian plaster which gives a very interesting splatter pattern when it dries for great drywall texture.

This type of finish doesn’t require any paint and instead, you can use a slap brush to make any type of texturing you want. While it works well on walls, you can also use these methods to have a more interesting ceiling.

FAQ

Are textured walls popular?

Many homes like to have a modern look which is all about clean lines and a minimalist look. This can leave rooms feeling a little cold and boring. This is especially true if you have drywall painted in neutral paint.

A textured wall is an increasingly popular way to transform that smooth finish into something that’s much more interesting. Having different wall textures is a great way to bring more style into your home.

How do you decorate a textured wall?

Gone are the days of just having a skim coating on every drywall in your home. Instead of worrying about working with joint compound (drywall mud) to make those walls silky smooth, you can grab a tub of homax instead.

As we’ve looked at here, there are many ways that you can decorate a textured wall without any drywall compound. If you have a panel or molding then you can paint it any color you want. With a stone or wooden textured wall, you don’t need to do anything.

What are the different types of wall textures?

The traditional types of wall textures are orange peel texture, knockdown, slap brush, sand swirl and popcorn among others. While still used, these are out of fashion as wall texture types and are more commonly used for ceiling texture.

For modern walls, we see many other methods used for adding textured such as the ones we looked at like faux stone, wood texturing and 3D panels.

What wall texture is most popular?

While slap brush texture and knockdown wall texture might have reduced in popularity, other types have come to the fore. One of the most popular we see is 3D paneling as it’s fairly cheap, easy to install and can make a dramatic difference to the appearance of you walls.

Is knockdown texture outdated?

Yes, it is. You rarely see knockdown texture along with the likes as spray sand and slap brush knockdown. These methods can still be used but you’ll see them with popcorn ceiling texture instead of walls.

A skim coating can still look great on your drywall but if you want to add texture, you should probably put the putty knife down and look beyond knockdown. The likes of popcorn ceilings can still be popular if you did like these traditional methods.
