Wall & Ceiling Textures
Popcorn Ceiling Texture
This is one of the most common types of ceiling finishes. As the name implies it has a poppy surface that looks more like cottage cheese. Popcorn ceiling is perfect for the areas which should look bright like hallways.
Spray Sand Ceiling Texture
As the name implies, the sand is mixed with the water or primer and then sprayed on the wall or the ceiling. This process is done with a help of a hopper gun. More people like this texture on ceilings than the room walls.
Skip Trowel Ceiling Texture
The amazing thing about this design is its randomness that differentiates it from other ceiling texture types. Just a random pattern looks beautiful.
Hawk And Trowel Ceiling Texture
You want to make texture on your plain ceiling, just grab a hawk and a trowel. It consists of layers of drywall mud flowing over one another which makes it look like waves of water. Various variation of this style exists, each depending on the thickness of the material used.
Knockdown Ceiling Texture
Unlike other ceiling texture types, it takes a little work to install this texture.
Santa Fe Ceiling Texture
This drywall texture resembles a lot to skip trowel but it has more coverage area. An easy rule of thumb is Santa Fe covers sixty percent of the ceiling while skip trowel has lesser area textured.
Light Popcorn Texture
For those who prefer a versatile ceiling with changeable colors, light popcorn is the best option. On a less poppy ceiling, you can paint different light colors whenever you want. This is a good option for those who are not a fan of aggressive patterns and want to keep it simple.
Skim Coat Ceiling Texture
If you have removed a heavily textured ceiling then you should try skim coat which is a type of smooth texture. It is not completely smooth but has some textures in between making it simple yet beautiful. With a thin layer of mud, you can hide the imperfections. Among many ceiling texture types, the smooth ceiling is still people’s favorite.
