Stucco walls are popular to convey a theme that is decidedly Mediterranean. In shades of yellow and mustard, this kind of a wall creates a cheery atmosphere. A stucco wall can be painted similar to the rest of the walls and yet standout for its welcome texture. A monochromatic theme will benefit with a stucco wall mainly for the ease with which it introduces texture into the decor

Wallpapers are available in lovely textures with preference given to fibre-based papers. These give an interesting look and feel to the room. An upholstered wall is used commonly in children's room to serve dual purposes of safety and looks. One eco-friendly option, however, is to have untreated wall surfaces like an exposed brick wall that looks good and adds a great deal of texture. If this tends to be overwhelming, use it sparingly around arches and as quoins around windows and door frames.
