Hardwood

Rian is having a flooring problem.

If one canna match the centennial floors in the rest of thy house, does one do the floor of the new room in a wood that matches as closely as possible (which is noticably NOT very close) or does one go wild and do the floor in something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, such as dark bamboo, simply to make a point?

Mmm, don't know, but in the end I suspect I would go mad trying to sort it out ;)

Completely different. If they are close but don't match, it will look like you just didn't know what you were doing.

For example, one can wear a light green shirt with dark green pants and look fine; but if one wears two different shades of dark green it looks awful. (If you don't like green anyway, insert your own color in the analogy.)

Purple?

Different. Like Emano, I think that a near miss would be jarring. Dark Bamboo floors?

How odd, Dr. Lorimer, that is exactly what Rian was looking at. Did I say that?

Oh.

Rian SAID that.

Obviously I need to go to bed.

Or something.

Vastly different. Do not risk the almost-but-not-quite.

Like, perhaps, two inch deep violet shag pile.

Or, you know, dark bamboo.

Ooh, if you have two-inch deep violet shag pile, you can replace all the furniture with blow up chairs and disco balls!

That'd make a statement.

Aparently Bamboo is Dangerous.

Rian is Disappointed.

Bamboo is dangerous?

I mean, I'd never plant it in my yard for fear of losing the whole property to a forest of panda fodder, but surely it's unlikely to sprout as floorboards...

there are some rather spiky and deadly bamboo traps to be found in the Jungles of South East Asia, put perhaps if Rian were to arrage the bamboo horizontally, rather than vertically...

Well, yes.

Apparently it splinters very easily and stabs the unaware through the soul...eh...SOLE. Yesss, yess, Rian meant SOLE.

Why would you have fish on your floor?

To make that point, obviously.
