element of design: texture

There are three categories for texture- visual, tactile, and audible. The mirror on the wall defines visual texture because you look at it, and see your reflection. The picture on the wall that says hot popcorn is visual too because it has words on it and you can read it. Another visual texture is the red and gold pillow on the couch, it is sitting perfectly on the couch and shows depth of the couch. The last visual texture I have spotted is the lamp beside the couch because it it lengthy and looks nice next to the couch. The tactile texture is spotted in many different places in this room. For starters, you can feel the plant on the side table next to the couch, therefore it is tactile. The couch is also tactile because you can sit in it and it looks bouncy/comfy. The pillow that has curved lines on is also tactile because it looks fluffy just like the couch. Behind the couch, there is a brick wall, and that brick wall definitely shows a tactile texture. It seems to have a rough texture to it. Now we are moving on to audible texture.The ram on the wall shows audible texture because it's shiny and if it was rubbed it would be squeaky. I think the picture next to the hot popcorn picture would be rough, and wood-like so it would sound very dull when rubbed. Next to the couch, I would say the side table would give off the same sort of feel as the wood picture on the wall, so that is another audible texture. The last one would be the light fixture on the ceiling. I'm sure that when it is touched it would make a chime noise. Overall, I think this room really displays a lot of textures and all these textures combined together make a very good feel to this room. I really like how I designed this one and could actually see myself designing a room like this sometime in real life.
