wall finish

Drywall's final layer

Wall finish is the final surface treatment applied to interior or exterior walls—paint, plaster, wallpaper, texture, or decorative coatings.

The term encompasses both the material used and the resulting appearance: We're debating between a smooth wall finish and something more textured.

In construction, wall finish distinguishes the visible surface layer from underlying structural elements.
