Hello,
We’ve removed the wallpaper in one area of our house, and instead of replacing the wallpaper with more wallpaper, we’d like to “texture” those walls and then paint them. I’ve never done this before, but I know that it can be done. I don’t want to put a heavy or “popcorn” texture on, just a very light texture, but still enough of a texture so that it’s evident that there is one there.
I assume that the best approach is to use some type of roller, possibly even a thick nap paint roller, but I don’t know what kind of material to apply to the wall. Should it simply be joint compound, or is there another material that is more appropriate to use in texturing a wall? And if the answer is to use joint compound, should the joint compound be thinned before applying?
Thanks,
Louis
