Drywall, which is also called gypsum board in some construction circles, is a commonly used material for interior walls. The surface holds latex and oil-based paints, or it can be covered in wallpaper. Unlike holes knocked into the wall surface, minor dents and dings are relatively simple to fix using drywall patching compound, which can be purchased at hardware stores. Once the repair has dried, you can repaint the wall surface or apply new wallpaper.
