Unique Look
Create a unique look: Texture can create a unique finish for a wall or hallway to make a room look more interesting. Act as camouflage: The most common reason textured drywall is installed is because it can hide imperfections in the drywall finish so it doesn't have to be repaired, repainted, or refinished as often.
Combing
What is comb texture?
A texture in which individual crystals have their long axis perpendicular to the walls of a vein.
Shape
When selecting a drywall finish, consider a room's design, shape, decor, and the look the room should have. Some finishes are thick with noticeable lines and crevices. Other finishes are much less noticeable. Or you could opt to have no finish at all and use a simple, smooth finish.
