o. I can help you answer do you sand textured walls before painting or not. In general, I wouldn’t suggest sanding textured walls before painting as I did this mistake a month ago. The reason behind this is that sanding can be difficult to do evenly. 

Further, there are chances that textures get removed while sanding, leading to a flat patch, distinct from the rest of the wall. I have some more additions to this, which I am sharing with you below.

Do I Need to Sand Textured Walls Before Painting?

Like I said above, you don’t need to sand the textured walls. But, in case there are any areas with imperfections like holes and cracks, you can sand those areas gently before you pick up the paintbrush.

You have to be careful while doing this though. I recommend using a putty knife and spacking. Don’t go too far while fixing areas. You wouldn’t want to remove the texture from walls and have a weird-looking flat section.

This is all I have to share with you for this answer. I hope you now know whether you should be sanding textured walls or not.
