Drywall has been a favorite wall covering for most homes for a long time. But think about some new and exciting options that can provide a more aesthetic twist, be more environmentally acceptable, or can better withstand unfortunate occurrences like hurricanes and flooding. Here are four options for a new wall covering solutions, each with a specific advantage over drywall.
Unique Wall Covering Solutions

Wooden Covering
Wood was a popular option long before drywall. This natural material, in its many forms, can offer a range of finishes. Depending on the wood and stain options, wood wall coverings can offer a very warm and attractive option or a cool, moody feel. Most commonly, wood is utilized to create a more traditional, historic look for a room.
Often popular in the southern states, wood survives the ravaging effects of hurricanes and flooding with minimal damage, while drywall will not.
Lath and Plaster Walls
A traditional option for your wall covering is plaster. Paper in drywall can become an excellent food source for mold, whereas plaster offers a smooth and consistent surface. This product can be applied to a waterproof gypsum lath or cement board or onto a more traditional metal or wood lath.
Cover with “Nothing”
Not covering your wall may also be an option. As long as the home is insulated on the outside, the inner structural surfaces can create attractive inner walls. Use cement blocks or bricks to create a unique and attractive inner wall.
To further enhance the appearance of the room, some types of brick are designed for this function and offer better energy conservation, warmer texture, and enhanced beauty to the interior wall. Brick also comes in a wide range of styles and colors, so you can choose the one that meets your aesthetic.
