 * Types of texture **

There are four types of textures in two categories: rough/smooth and hard/soft.  Soft textures are most often fabrics such as drapes.  Hard textures can be wood, surfaces, chrome, and glass.  Then you can also classify these same elements in another category, to determine the intensity of their texture. Rough surfaces are brick or stucco and smooth surfaces are glass and chrome.

 * How can texture influence the characteristics of a space? **

The texture of an item will affect the overall look of a piece, and the intensity of the colour, for example a rough texture will not only change the look of an accessory; it will also modify the final colour intensity.

 Textures can also be used to fool the eye in the dimensions of a space. Rough surfaces tend to bring the walls of a room inward, thus creating a more cozy atmosphere. The use of rough textures in large, open spaces is recommended to keep a space from looking too cold and impersonal. On the other hand, soft surfaces are a great way to make a small room look larger.
