A texture also refers to the feel of the surface. But we have the word ‘finish’ for it. So, then what does texture mean?

There are two types of texture, Visual texture, and tactile texture. Visual texture refers to the feel of the surface that we see. For example, when you see a tree, it is the texture of the barks and its color variations that lets you know that this is a tree.

Tactile texture means the feel of the surface that we perceive by touching. Now we use the word finish for it. To make this difference easier to understand, your salesman will use the word ‘finish’ and ‘texture’ simultaneously.

So to make it easy to understand, the texture is the sensation and the feel of the surface when it is touched. We are constantly surrounded by textures. It is what makes our life an exciting experience and helps us relate to objects around us. The feel of silk on the skin, the touch of tree bark against the fingers, and the warmth of cotton sheets we warm into when we sleep, all these and many other things add to the quality of life.

In today’s modern interior trends, tiles have become a necessity. To make the experience more worthwhile, various textures are added. The texture of the tile is as important as the size, color, and shape of the tile.
