Bloom Big with Benz: Ace the 2026 Principles of Floral Design Exam!

Texture types describe how the surface of design elements appears. In floral design, texture is a visual cue that signals surface quality—whether something looks smooth, rough, glossy, or matte—and this reading by the eye creates depth and interest in a composition. It’s about appearance rather than how something actually feels to the touch, which would be a tactile texture. The other ideas touch on different concepts—how something feels physically, the scale or fineness of a surface, or the overall form—so they don’t capture what texture types are primarily describing, which is the look of the surface.
