When u think about wall textures there are many that can be done... I will put across some of the textures so that you can have some visuals to keep in your mind...
Only thing... these textures have to be just done as a highlight... Just to create a drama in the room... For example.. if u have a huge hall or a good open high ceiling hall then maybe any one of the walls can be textured... Or may be a corner side which is a small wall... or just a panel can be made so as to just give a highlight to the room...
Now what do u mean by "highlight"...
Suppose if you have a plain looking dress when you do some beautiful embroidery on it the dress not only looks interesting, there is some variation & life given to that dress... The emdroidery enhances the dress.. Similarly, the wall textures are also done to the walls of the room just to enhance the room...
Textures should never be a contrast...
As is the texture effect is different but it shoud be matched with the other wall colours or the furnitures & upholestry that you are going to use for that room :)
Some examples for you to have some visuals in ur mind :
This is a rough old look of uneven bricks... They can be painted from in the same colour shades & therefore it remains like this as long as we maintain it...
Few more of the rock looking wall textures....
This is not a brick texture but is created with cement & paint... Now a days you get tiles also for this texture but they do not look as natural as these... They have a plain look...
But textured tiles are cheaper than creating creating texture on the walls...
These are rocky effect... You get these kind of stones which can be made by experts... This texture should be done in a very natural way therefore you need to get a good expert :)
These are very simple neatly placed bricks but there is a treatment done to these bricks & after that they are placed to form the texture.. They can be painted from above or can be varnished to give a finish gloss look... Plus then they become easy to maintain :) The experts can correctly guide you to these textures...
Alongwith all these kind of texture you should put lot of indoor plants. Reason this kind of a wall texture gives the room an outdoor look & when you put indoor plants alongwith the same you can create a lot of uniformity & oneness in the room...
These wall textures should also be used only to give depth...

So if you have problems of dust or allergy I would recommend either not to have these textures in your homes... or keep some help for cleaning these walls. They have to be dusted everyday especially in a city like mumbai... But the beauty of these textures are that they will never appear dirty even though they are :)

Even though the wall has a contrast look the plants will break that contrast effect & blend it to the entire room....
These wall textures should also be used only to give depth...
So ensure use it in small areas & not the entire wall...
Take expert guidelines for arrangements and their maintainence techniques...!!
Sometimes these textures are very helpful on those walls wherein you have problems of water leaking or dampness... But definitely they are easier than painting your walls regularly...
