Seventeen finishes. One wall. Choosing can feel overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be. This room-by-room guide walks you through all 17 signature wall texture finishes from Texture Services, so you can match the right texture to the right space, whether it’s a calm bedroom, a hardworking kitchen or a street-facing facade.
Living Room: Warmth With Character
The living room is where texture earns its keep — it catches the light and sets the mood for the whole home.
- Velvet Texture — a plush, light-catching sheen that makes evening light glow. Perfect behind the sofa or TV wall.
- Lime Wash — soft cloudy movement in a breathable mineral matte; relaxed and timeless.
- Travertine — linear stone veining with natural depth for an upscale, architectural feel.
- Marmarito — polished marble-like depth when you want quiet luxury.
Bedroom: Calm and Restful
Bedrooms call for softer, low-contrast textures that won’t fight for attention.
- Lime Wash — our top pick for bedrooms; the gentle tonal shifts feel serene, not busy.
- Velvet Texture — adds a hint of richness to a headboard wall.
- Nugdi — a coarse hand-crafted grain that brings rustic warmth to cosy spaces.
Kitchen: Practical Meets Beautiful
Kitchens need surfaces that wipe clean and stand up to daily life.
- Microcement — seamless, grout-free and easy to clean; works on walls and backsplashes.
- Color Crete — rich integral colour in a tough cement finish for bold kitchen statements.
- Stone Effect — authentic stone character without the weight or cost of real stone.
Bathroom: Built for Water
Bathrooms punish the wrong finish. Go seamless and sealed.
- Microcement — the bathroom champion: waterproof when sealed, no grout to stain.
- Liquid Terrazzo — flowing seamless aggregate, stunning on bathroom floors.
- Washed Terrazzo — textured stone aggregate with real grip and character. Terrazzo’s story goes back centuries — read about the material on Wikipedia.
Exteriors and Facades: Made for the Street
Exterior finishes must handle sun, rain and pollution while still looking sharp.
- Stucco — the classic exterior plaster, protective and endlessly customisable. Stucco has sheltered buildings for centuries.
- Rockwall — rugged dimensional texture with raw, natural character.
- Stone Effect — a stone facade look at a fraction of the cost.
- Graphy — sharp, contemporary definition for modern architecture.
Feature Walls: Make One Wall the Star
Sometimes one dramatic wall does more than four decorated ones.
- Stencil — crisp hand-applied patterns, from subtle motifs to bold graphics.
- Sculptured — sculpted relief that plays with light and shadow through the day.
- Pseudo Bricks — the charm of exposed brickwork, crafted by hand.
- Patina — beautifully aged tones with an artisanal soul.
Quick Tips for Choosing
- Light first: see samples in your room’s actual light — north light and warm evening bulbs change everything.
- Scale matters: bold textures (Rockwall, Sculptured) suit large walls; fine textures (Lime Wash, Velvet) suit small rooms.
- Wet zones: always choose sealed, seamless finishes like Microcement for bathrooms.
- One hero: when in doubt, texture one feature wall and keep the rest calm.
