Wallpaper is an easy and cost-effective way for you to bring that special designer touch the walls of your home or office. It can be a beautiful addition to a space, however, it isn\u2019t always easy and if your walls are conventionally textured it can lead to some hiccups along the way. Wall textures can vary considerably, so let\u2019s have a look at some of the different wall textures you could encounter in your everyday life as well as which wallpapers are a good fit for textured walls.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Can You Apply Wallpaper to Textured Walls?<\/h2>\n

Is it possible to use wallpaper on textured walls? Well, while it might be possible to use wallpaper on most textured surfaces it’s not possible on all of them, this being said, let’s have look at a couple of textured surfaces and whether you can use wallpaper on them without the need to fill in some of the inconsistencies first. Remember that it’s always best to use wallpaper on surfaces that are completely flush to prevent tearing and bubbling later on.<\/p>\n

Knockdown Texture<\/h3>\n

What is knockdown texture? It\u2019s a finishing style of drywall that is basically an intense mottled texture. It’s pretty cool and has a really understated feel but its aesthetic impact is noticeable in any space. This being said, it won’t really stop your wallpaper from sticking but it will make it look a bit funny once it\u2019s been attached to your wall.<\/p>\n

This is especially annoying when you\u2019re working with wallpaper that needs to be completely flat for its intended effect to work, or it could end up looking really off-putting. So, while it might not be impossible to use wallpaper on a wall with this texture, it does depend on the overall intended aesthetic of the wallpaper you\u2019re using.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Orange Peel Texture<\/h3>\n

Using peel-and-stick wallpaper on textured walls, especially walls with an orange peel texture is generally quite easy because orange peel only has slight raises in its surface texture which means not only will your wallpaper stick to the surface of the drywall, but it the texture of the wall will not upset the aesthetic impact of the wallpaper either.<\/p>\n

Why is using peel and stick wallpaper so easy when it comes to orange peel textured walls? They\u2019re actually named after the literal peel of an orange, as it has pretty much the same texture. This is as close to a smooth surface as you\u2019re going to get when you\u2019re dealing with wall textures, so count your lucky stars if this is the type of wall texture you\u2019re trying to use wallpaper on.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
