natural textures

Wood, stone, linen

Natural textures are the surface qualities found in materials from the physical world—wood grain, stone, woven fibers, leather, bark, sand.

The term appears in interior design and digital art, where natural textures contrast with synthetic or artificial ones: The room balanced natural textures against sleek modern furniture.

In graphics software, natural textures are image files that simulate real-world surfaces.
