Texture
There are two main types of texture that can be applied in interior design.

Tactile texture: The actual 3-D feel of a surface that can be touched. Painters can use impasto to build peaks and create texture.

Visual texture: The illusion of a 3-D texture. Cannot actually feel the texture.

Texture can help create different moods and looks throughout a space. For example, rough tactile texture can create a rugged or rustic feel while smooth tactile texture can create a soft subtle feeling throughout a space. Visual texture can create these same feelings while only being an illusion. While texture is most commonly used on the outside features of housing, it is also common to see it used in bathrooms, kitchens, and living rooms as well. There are many different techniques/ ways to create these different types of textures.

Here are some examples of Tactile Tecture:
