These 3 (above) are forms of skip trowel in varying degrees of pattern and thickness. There are many different styles you can achieve by adding sand, more texture or applying different degrees of pressure with your trowel.

MACHINE APPLIED TEXTURE

This type of texture is typically found in newer homes. It is uniform in size and pattern and very modern-looking. The styles are knockdown, splatter, and orange peel, which is really a tiny splatter. The different patterns are acheived by adjusting the air flow and the size of the tip on the texture gun. Knockdown is acheived by first applying a splatter, then using a large flat knife to "knock down" the surface. Orange peel textures are typical in bathrooms and kitchens, where a minimal texture is desired for ease in maintenance and cleaning.
