Tut-tut... another day of laying down the terra-cotta flooring, now in the Salotto. This room is a kind of one-sided trapezoid. Does that make any sense? Anyway, we ran into A Tech-Question... to follow or not to follow the shape of the room for the interior field... or, the carpet? If we did, then both the outside & inside fields would be full of chopped up little pieces of terra-cotta, thanks to the rather rakish angle of a wall. These itzy-bitzy pieces are because the outside field pattern I chose... straight alternating pavers works well AND simply, if the pavers are layed at 90% angles to whatever they butt-up against... wall or border, etc. Creating a square center field solved the outside field issue EXCEPT that...
over in the far right corner in the photo below, there would be a whole lot of outside field. Fine.
The Work-guys & I did several trial runs and My Vote went for how you see it. A carpet effect which is in the center of the room... ditto for the Sala da Pranza. We have obeyed the Law of Uniformity!!!
But, don't it all look nice? Gads.
