The Pros and Cons of Textured Walls – It’s About More Than Appearances

Implementing textured walls into the home has become increasingly popular over the last few years. While visual aesthetics continues to remain the leading cause for the demand, this is not always the motivation behind the decision to go with texture. Finding out more about why homeowners make the decision to have their walls textured by a professional is important, because this could be a solution to an existing issue you have, and you didn’t even realize it.

Looks and More – What Textured Walls Can Do For You

The first thing we should do is clarify the difference between textured walls and textured paint. Many Carlsbad homeowners make the mistake of thinking that they can get the results that they want by making a DIY project out of using textured paint on the walls. The bad news is that while it may end up looking alright, it is not going to have the long term effects needed – nor the right level of good looks.

So what’s so great and, most important, useful about texturing the walls?

This is an ideal way to conceal flaws and blemishes that may exist in your walls. If you cannot achieve perfectly smooth walls, why not run with what you do have? Don’t let your blemishes become the focal point of a smooth wall, when you can hide it with texture.

The additional layer of texturing helps act as a soundproofing insulation. While you wouldn’t want to rely on just this to help drown out noise bleed between two rooms, you can use this to help soften the sounds. Being able to at least muffle noise from one room to another can make a huge difference.

Textured paint adds depth. While smooth walls are nice, they are standard. It means relying on color choices to improve the look. However, with texturization, you can use the most basic of colors and your walls will still look like a million bucks. Opting for more dimensional work, such as molding or texture, transforms your walls into works of art.

If the project is carried out by professionals, this will increase the property value of your home. Choose wisely because you are literally reinvesting back into the biggest and most important investment you have.

Of course, it is worth mentioning that the one noted downside to texturing your walls is that it then becomes difficult to repair, without becoming obvious. It means a disruption in the original pattern, and one that is basically impossible to replicate. So, you either redo the entire wall, or accept the flaw.
