I'm not a fan myself but a bumpy wall is easier to put in than a perfectly smooth one. I have a few bits of substandard plastering and the very small snags / gaps / scrapes stick out an absolute mile for me. A bumpy wall might look rubbish but at least imperfections are harder to spot.

I get that but I've seen plenty of 'period' properties over here that have lumpy walls and people don't seem to mind. Meanwhile this American was applying texture to a brand new wall in a brand new building which I don't see why it wouldn't be smooth and flat if the tradespeople are half competent.

Huh.

Might be easier to finish and might wear better.

Painters reckon you need to follow a spray gun set up with a chap with a roller to add texture to it otherwise it’s too ‘perfect’ and wears really badly.
