My recent gig showed me how textured walls are making a comeback
I've been hanging drywall for a bit, and I keep getting jobs where folks want texture instead of smooth finishes. Just wrapped up a whole house where the ceiling had to have that knock-down look, which was new for me. Took some practice to get the mud consistency right, but it came out clean in the end. Honestly, it's a small win to learn this style as it gets more popular, lmao. I guess those DIY shows on TV are pushing the trend around here. Sharing in case others are seeing the same thing in their areas.

That knockdown skill is handy, but @morgan_lewis18 is right that smooth walls still have their place. I wonder if the texture trend is partly because it hides drywall flaws better for DIYers.

Yeah the DIY show thing is spot on, I see that driving a lot of requests too. Getting that knockdown technique down is definitely a good skill to have in the bag now. Seems like smooth walls are taking a backseat for a minute.
