Why Is Drywall Textured

Wall textures are commonly used to finish interior wall surfaces and hide taped drywall seams along with other imperfections. At the same time these textures transform flat walls into a finish that reflects light and adds interest to any room.

Is drywall texture necessary?

There’s no reason you have to texture drywall. Texture is for making the wall look more traditional or to cover flaws, not to make the paint work better.

Why are textured walls bad?

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.
