The visual elements in this room are the coffee table, the planter, the end tables and the sconces on the wall are all shiny and give more of a professsional look.
The tactile items in this room are the base of the lamp which is rough, the basket on the dresser which is also rough, while the chair and couch are both smooth and soft.
The audible elements of this room are shown by the basket, the couch, the sconces, and the painting would all have different sounds when rubbed.
This room has elements that are professional, but also elements that are cozy making it a nice place to relax with family or have friends over.
