Element of Design : Texture

There are 3 categories of texture that includes visual, tactile, and audible.
The items that represent visual texture are the water can, because you can see that it would have a smooth but cold feeling and the way the spout and handle are shaped have lots of texture to it as well. The cow skin pillows are another visual texture because you know it will feel like animal hair and along with raccoon pillow you know it will have a soft texture to it. The antlers by looking at them you notice they are rough and you can only imagine that is what it would feel like. Also the vases have a unique shape but it is also smooth to the touch.
The items that represent tactile texture would be the clock, just by looking at the clock you notice it has sharp edges, if you were to touch this clock it would be rough to the touch but also some of the parts would have smooth edges. Another tactile texture would be the end table, when you touch it you would be able to feel the wood grain but it would smooth to touch if you go with the grain, Another tactile texture would be the coffee table, with the trunk design it would be very rough and hard to the hand but the top of the coffee table would be nice and smooth. the other tactile texture would be the flowers I have placed on top of the books. They would have a crunchy texture and the stems would have a rough pointy feel to it.
The items that represent audible texture would be the couch, when you sit on a couch you can hear it crunch or basically hear yourself go down in the couch. It would have a soft audible sound to it. Another audible texture would be the tree in the corner to the left of the couch if you were to touch that it would make a russiling noise and it potentially could be loud.  The other audible sound would be the Kleenex if you were to pull one Kleenex out it would make a soft gentle noise to it. The last audible texture would be the phone when you touch the buttons they make a noise and touching the phone would have a very very soft noise to it.
The overall feeling to this room is country met modern, I felt I achieved the look I was going for which was a comfortable sitting area with unique touches to it. With the horizontal and vertical lines it makes it feel inviting and not to mention the soft couch that makes you want to just lay down on it.
