Texture describes the surface quality and visual weight of a plant. Plants considered to be coarse-textured have bolder leaves and more dramatic proportions. Fine-textured plants have small, delicate leaves and slender stems. You can use texture to change the perception of space in a room. For example, a fine-textured plant such as a small-leaved creeping fig (Ficus pumila) positioned at the far end of a room will fool the eye as you enter, creating the illusion that the plant is farther away, making the room seem larger. On the other hand, placing a bold, large-leaved plant at the far end of the room can help make the space look smaller, more intimate, and more inviting.

Here the plants are in scale with their settings, from the tall tree in the corner to the short, bushy plants near the chairs. Note the trailers atop the cupboards.
