Drywall Mud

Wall surfaces can be much more appealing (and imperfections in them are harder to spot) when they’re textured with drywall mud. This texturing process isn’t difficult. Apply drywall mud and, using a brush or a sponge, add some texture to the mud.

Sponge your drywall. Avoid sanding the seams, try to stick with sponging. A wet sponge can smooth the seams of drywall just as well as sandpaper. With the sponge, though, you’ll avoid getting all that drywall dust all over your house.
