What is Old World Texture?

Old world texture is a type of wall finish that dates back to ancient times. It’s characterized by a heavily textured and uneven surface that gives the appearance of age and history. The texture often features swirls, bumps, and ridges that create depth and interest on the wall. This style of finish is commonly used in European architecture and can be found in historic buildings all over the continent.

How is Old World Texture Applied?

To achieve an old world texture finish, we start by applying a base coat of joint compound or plaster to the wall. This base coat is then manipulated using a variety of hand tools to create the desired texture. The tools used can include trowels, sponges, brushes, and even brooms. The texture is built up layer by layer until the desired effect is achieved. Once the texture is complete, it’s left to dry completely before being painted or stained.

Benefits of Choosing Old World Texture

There are several benefits to choosing an old world texture finish for your interior walls. Here are a few of the most significant advantages:

1. Unique and Timeless Look – An old world texture finish is a one-of-a-kind look that can’t be replicated with other finishes. It adds character and interest to any space and can create a sense of history and warmth.

2. Hides Imperfections – Because of its heavily textured nature, this finish can hide imperfections and flaws in the wall surface. This makes it a great option for older homes or buildings with uneven walls.

3. Durable and Long-Lasting – Old world texture finishes are incredibly durable and can withstand wear and tear over time. This makes it an excellent option for high-traffic areas or spaces that are prone to damage.

4. Versatile – Old world texture finishes can be customized to fit any design style. They can be painted or stained to match any color scheme, and the texture can be adjusted to suit the look and feel of the space.
