Texture

There are three categories for texture; visual, tactile, and audible. My visual texture items are the starfish, the mirror on the wall, the blanket, and the wall. These items are all visual because you can tell that the starfish will have a rough bumpy feel to it. The mirror you can see will have a smooth texture with many different lines, the blanket will have a soft fuzzy feel which you can tell just by looking at it. The pillow you can tell is going to be fluffy and have many different soft lines it in.

The tactile textured items are the one that you can tell the texture by feeling it. In my room the tactile items are the wall, basket, side table, and the books. You can get the texture by feeling all of these. The wall will have a smooth feel in most spots a little section of bumpy. The basket would have a rougher feel to it if you feel to it. The side table is the perfect combination of texture, it mixes rough on the bottom with smooth glass on the top of it. The books have a smooth feel to them which would make them tactile because you have to feel it to know the texture of them. Audible texture are ones that you can hear if you touch them. In my room the bookshelf, the couch, the floor, and decorations have an audible feel. The bookshelf if you touched it would be smooth and make a squeaky noise. The couch would have a soft comfortable feel to it. The floor would have a smooth feeling much like the book shelf it would be squeaky. The decorations have a rough bumpy feel but also squeaky because they are glass. Textures make things pop more than they normally would so it is good to have smooth textures mixed in with rougher textures. Like my couch with the throw pillow are good compliments to each other. Because my room has a lot of smooth textures i think it gives a feeling of relaxation and comfort.
