How to Create Texture Using Paint: Process, Tools, and Techniques

20, January 2026

If you want the right texture to elevate your walls, it needs to be applied the right way. Texture is not just about choosing a pattern. It is about how the surface is prepared, how the material is mixed, and how each stroke is made. When the process is done correctly, wall texture adds depth, character, and lasting appeal. Texture turns simple texture painting walls into thoughtfully designed surfaces.

Smart Texture Option for Home Walls

Birla White Textura is a white cement–based texture solution designed to create stylish and long-lasting wall finishes for homes and workspaces. Made using advanced technology, it offers strong adhesion, better coverage, and high water resistance. These features help textures stay intact over time. Textura is also an affordable choice for creating modern and well-defined textured walls.

How do I apply texture paint?

Birla White Textura can be applied in two ways: Trowel Finish for deeper textures and Roller Finish for lighter patterns. Follow the steps below to understand how to apply Textura correctly and achieve the desired wall design texture finish.

Trowel Finish: Step-by-Step Application Process

Trowel texture paint designs are ideal for creating deeper grooves, bold patterns, and handcrafted textures.

1. Surface Preparation

• Remove all loose particles such as dirt, dust, oil, or debris using emery paper, a putty blade, or a wire brush.

• Fill surface imperfections like cracks, dents, or holes to ensure an even base.

2. Surface Pre-Wetting

Pre-wetting the concrete or plaster surface is essential. It:

• Improves smoothness and workability

• Ensures uniform coverage

• Enhances bonding with the substrate

3. Mixing Ratio

• Mix 22–25% clean water to obtain a uniform paste.

• This ensures better coverage and a smoother shade.

• Prepare only as much material as can be used within 1–2 hours.

4. Application

• Apply Textura at a thickness of 2–3 mm.

• Remove excess material to level the surface.

• Allow it to dry for 5–10 minutes.

• Use a fibre trowel to create the desired texture patterns.

Final Steps

• Let the surface dry for 10–12 hours.

• Apply paint in the desired shade to achieve the final textured finish.

Roller Finish: Step-by-Step Application Process

Roller finishes create lighter and uniform textures that are suitable for both interior and exterior surfaces.

1. Surface Preparation

• Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dust, dirt, oil, or loose particles.

• Repair cracks, dents, and holes before application.

2. Surface Pre-Wetting

Pre-wetting ensures:

• Better smoothness

• Improved workability

• Uniform coverage

• Higher bond strength

3. Mixing of Textura Roller Finish

• Mix Textura Roller Finish thoroughly to achieve a uniform paste.

• Follow the specified water ratio for the selected finish.

• Use the mixed material within 1–2 hours for best results.

Important Precautions to Follow

Do’s Don’ts
Apply on clean and dry surfaces free from dust or contaminants Do not apply on surfaces with continuous seepage or dampness
Use a cement-based sealer in high-moisture or high-traffic areas Do not apply if the ambient temperature is below 10°C or expected to drop within 4 hours
Shake the bag well before removing the material Do not thin the material
Pre-wet the surface to prevent rapid drying Do not leave mixed material exposed to air for long periods
Stir the material thoroughly before use  _

 

What Are the 5 Examples of Texture?

What Is the Current Trend for Wall Texture?

Current wall texture trends focus on clean, handcrafted finishes with a natural and minimal appeal. Textures with subtle depth are preferred over heavy patterns. There is also a growing preference for versatile textures that work equally well in homes and offices, where refined surfaces define the overall look.

Texture creation is not just about material; it is about process, precision, and technique.
