Went to Italy to make memories with my kids. Came home with 400 photos of floors…..
Not sorry. Every threshold in Rome is a design decision someone made 400 years ago and nobody has improved on since.
Here’s what I kept thinking about: when a client says classic, what they usually mean is not that funky. But look at these floors. Broken marble set like confetti. A cosmatesque star you walk over without looking down. This IS classic. It’s just classic with a pulse.
Pattern isn’t the risky choice. Restraint got confused with taste somewhere along the way, and Europe never got the memo.
