Drywall texture and corner style can make a big difference in the look and feel of a home. Here are some of the options as a custom home builder you should consider when it comes to drywall texture and corner style.
Drywall Texture:
Smooth – This is the most basic and traditional drywall texture. It’s also the easiest to paint and finish. It’s a good choice for a clean and modern look. Also something to consider is if you plan to use wallpaper. Wallpaper requires a smooth finish wall.
Popcorn – This texture is created by spraying the wall with a mixture of drywall compound and water and then applying small, round bumps. It’s a very textured surface and is a good choice for a retro or vintage look.
Knockdown – This texture is created by spraying the wall with a mixture of drywall compound and water and then flattening it with a trowel. It has a more pronounced texture than orange peel and is a good choice for a more rustic look.
Orange Peel – This texture is created by spraying the wall with a mixture of drywall compound and water. It has a slightly bumpy, textured surface that is good for hiding imperfections in the wall.
Mud Swirl - This texture is created by using a trowel to swirl drywall mud on the walls. This technique results in a unique, swirled pattern that adds depth and interest to the walls. It is best suited for a home with a traditional or rustic style.
Palm texture - is created by applying drywall mud using a roller with a palm leaf pattern. The result is a subtle and tropical texture that is perfect for a beach house or a home with a coastal theme.
