Pattern and Texture

How does texture affect the appearance of a colour?

Pattern refers to the designs in draperies, floor coverings, and other items in an interior. Texture refers to the surface appearance or feel of the items. Even if people do not touch everything in an area, their eyes interpret texture. Pattern and texture are closely related. For example, patterns in some fabrics and floor and wall coverings give the illusion of variation in texture.

Interiors with too little or too great a variety of patterns and textures can affect people psychologically. For a example, a room decorated with smooth-textured, white materials only may bore people.

Textures affect color and light distribution. Very smooth textures may reflect so much light that they create a mirror effect. But deep, heavy textures absorb and distort light. As a result, a deeply textured white carpet appears much darker than a smooth white wall.

Texture and pattern also have a relationship to scale, For example, walls made of large blocks of concrete might appear in scale in a large auditorium but out of scale in a small room of a home.
