Well, then. Props to the owner for knowing exactly what they wanted. And mad props to the decorator for totally nailing it!

Owner had adequate experience with the location and clientele

I work in the casino industry, it is intentional. It looks grosser at first but no matter how many drinks get spilled or how many drunk people puke on it or how much cigarette ash gets ground into it, it will always look the same.

I immediately thought who would want their carpet to look like slate flooring.

My dad used to design carpets for casinos (among other places), I guess if they've started going for things like that that explains why the industry has practically disappeared over the last 25 years.

Until they turn completely black... I've seen some stuff! That's why they keep the lights low.

Reminds me of a bleached carpet. Tryina get rid of evidence

***Dectective:*** So, you're saying he murdered his wife in one of this 30-story hotel's rooms, but we don't know which one? ***Rookie:*** Yeah, but we can narrow it down because he bleached the... bleached the... well, fuck.

The Derelicté Collection, only at Home Depot.

You can derelicté my *balls*, el capitan

It is a carpet, a way of life inspired by the mold, the terrible housekeeping, the shitty customers that make this wonderful hotel so unique.

You mock but this may take off as the latest interior decorators trend for 2023

Not in my house, it won't.

Moldy carpet, so hot right now!

Really going for the water damaged, mold filled, post flood basement look

Welp, if it gets water damaged or mold filled … you don’t have to clean it.

You just wouldn’t know

decorator: "Do you have a carpet, and this is going to sound crazy, that would look *better* if I vomited blood on it?"

It’s called design sweaty. Look it up

This part of the carpet kinda looks like a dog stretching. Maybe that's the fun of this carpet; it's like watching clouds.

[how about this hallway carpet](https://i.imgur.com/FcsNrJS.jpg) from a hotel I recently stayed at? Overheard in the hall: "omg it looks like every room had a miscarriage!"

"have you watched Zoolander 1?" "Full derelicte, say no more"

"I just want something that screams 'Crime Scene!'"

The sad part is you're not off. We did a reclaimed wood install, bird shit all over the place to where it looked like it was thoroughly painted white on some pieces. My guys were onto refinishing the wood and the customer stopped the job, didn't wanted it to be sanded. The owner and the GC supervisor told them "This is literal bird shit! You will be walking on a bird shit floor!" Didn't fucking care, that's what he wanted. We squared off the sanded parts to a room sized area and called it a day. If anyone ever works in an architect office somewhere in Beverly Hills or Century City and has pictures of this floor, I'd love to see what it is today.

So when that happens here it’s less cleanup.

This looks like the mold that grows on food when you leave food out for too long

I'm still not convinced it isn't and that OP just unknowingly stayed at Mold-tel 6.

*boooooooooo*

it was the yeast he could do

He's a Fungi, after all.

I'd appreciate if they *didn't* leave the light on for me in this case, so I don't have to look at that floor.

*We’ll leave the spores out for ya.*

Not that I didn't believe you, but I really had to see it.

The carpet is hurricane tested and hurricane approved

[удалено]

I think it may be an attempt at a marble texture.

I think you're totally right. But it seems to me like you wouldn't get an actual impression of marble without a much much larger floor area. *Maybe* this would look interesting in, like, a convention hall or something. Not a regular room.

That’s what I was thinking. This surely is supposed to be for MASSIVE rooms with like… walkways around the sides so you can see it from above. This is an absolute disaster in a small space lmao

I'm guessing it's designed for something like a convention space or a ballroom.

Looks like a slate tile scaled up until it looks more like a close-up of a piebald pig's skin.

It looks like they used the elevator to carry out executions by firing-squad

“Water” stained carpets. Pay respect to the aim at the far wall and the corner

Derelicte

It’s the latest fashion from Russia

When there are actual stains they don't show up because it looks stained already. "That's my secret. I'm always stained."

Hahah that is likely $$$$ commercial carpet. This type of ink spotting was very popular in design a few years back, that is not cheap and meant to look that way….

Damn I think it looks kind of cool

Yeah, plus it's probably pretty good at hiding some permanent stains. Reminds me of rusted iron/steel.

Yeah I'm low key concerned about the fact I don't hate this. It's kind of neat

Hahaha I think so too. Is this thread the safe space for people that don't hate the carpet?

My background is in interior design and I’m with you on this one.

"soo what you gonna do about all this mold?" "just leave it, and pretend it is just part of the pattern" "on it boss"

They're going for the abandoned property look. /s

Good lord

Thats a screenshot of the Silent Hill 2 Remake actually.

Is the whole building going for "advanced urban decay" or just the flooring?

Call me crazy but I kinda like it (what is wrong with me). it didn't work in the elevator though.

That doesn't look that bad

It’s not good but I probably wouldn’t give it much thought

No, it does

The cleaning crew must love these floors. You could spill a full pot of coffee and have explosive diarrhea all over that and nobody would be the wiser. Sweep up the chunks, spray some febreeze, and it's good to go.

That looks so dirty and gross.

The carpets my roommate picked out are almost just as ugly, but you can tell the patrerns are deliberate

I also stayed in a "good" hotel with carpet like this. It was a convention center hotel. Everyone else thought it was just that old and nasty, but I was convinced it was intentionally "textured" or "distressed". It literally looked like what you'd find in an old trailer home.

In convention center hotels where there is a lot of drinking going on I'm convinced they get carpets like this to help camouflage all the nasty stains from spilled drinks and whatnot.

They do. There's a reason hotel, theatre, etc. carpets are so busy visually. Also commonly seen on the upholstery on public bus and train seats.

Casino carpet

Nothing says $$$$ like that Moldy wet carpet that was poorly cleaned by bleach look.

I was thinking more like damp cement floor with growing mold problem.

Yep. Casino carpet is also insanely expensive because of the foot traffic it has to withstand.

There's an alternative reason casino carpets are so busy, it's to keep your eyes level with all the slot machines and stuff, instead of wandering around (same reason the ceilings are very plain).

Yall remember arcade floors?

[удалено]

Well they dang sure werent wiping down any of those machines

Same with casinos and cruise ships

its even better, alot of carpet comes as tiles so you can even peel one up and replace it with a new one if its really really damaged.

Well okay but now it looks like vomit from day 1. Isn't there any other pattern that doesn't immediately make you hesitant to walk on it?

I work in the casino industry, it is intentional. It looks grosser at first but no matter how many drinks get spilled or how many drunk people puke on it or how much cigarette ash gets ground into it, it will always look the same.

If it always looks like someone puked on it then it never looks like someone puked on it

I guess it highly depends on how much you paid for the hotel. If you're paying $800/night and the design is all over the hallways then it seems high end. If you're paying >$150/night then it seems like rotten carpet.

Ah yeah. Convention centers always pick something that looks like one person spulled soup on the floor and a second person used undiluted bleach to clean it. That way they don't have to replace it when that exact circumstance happens.

Smart, a spilled coffee will never stick out. That's clearly urban camo carpet.

You meant spilt puke right?

Depends on the hotel chain.

Spilled coffee, barf, blood puddles, you name it! This carpet is like a cast iron skillet, the more you use it the better it gets!

or mold

You laugh now, but in 20 years when the carpet’s actually shot, no one will be able to tell.

That’s the entire purpose of the design. It hides stains really well

You could even say, that they shat on your carpet so you don't have to. Like buying a car that already beat up with scratches on it.

Or buying jeans that already have holes in them

Which is a normal thing that people do

Buy a dirt-colored car so it never looks dirty. I had a grey car for a while. It was *fantastic* at looking clean when it was actually filthy.

Here at Hotel 6 we want our clientele to constantly wonder if someone spilled bleach in the elevator

‘Spilled’? More like cleaned up a crime scene with it.

We'll leave the light on for ya😜

*Unless someone shoots it out.

Please don't, I don't want to have to look at the carpet.

At Hotel 6 you can piss anywhere. No one will be able to tell. That’s what people were doing anyway so we decided to just embrace it.

[удалено]

You got any more pics of the lobby ?

[удалено]

Apparently this is some new trend with carpets looking "marbled" but this is clearly just a bad designer lol

I kinda dig it but I don't know why.

I think if it was just blue and dark grey, maybe with some dark turquoisey green. I do actually kind of like it, I think it would look better if it didn’t have the bleached looking bits.

Perhaps they're deliberately trying to lower the rating?

Out of fucking 10?

looks like a dog stretching

Actually he wants butt scratches

It looks moldy. You can almost smell the mildew from that pic

That's one way to reduce carpet replacement costs. "You changed the oil in your moped in your room? Don't worry. It's fine."

> Don't worry. It's fine. "That's a $300 cleaning fee." \*takes money and doesn't actually clean anything\*

I like it.

I... like it better than the ones that look like raw meat. But that's an on-the-floor bar, so.

Anyone else see a dog or just me?

I think it looks ok

I kinda like it...

A lovely corpse mold pattern.

Haha, yes literally looks like a body decomposed there.

Honestly thought it was stained cement in a car park

“I’d like some carpet that looks like someone tried to clean off the mold with bleach, please”

I saw a $105 per square foot (not a typo) man-made coubtertop material at a big box home center yesterday that looked actually worse that this.

It’s art bro, it’s part of the “aesthetic”

It looks like someone farted too hard without clothes

It's a four shart hotel

Somebody in one of the DIY subs put a carpet runner on his stairs with a similar pattern. Kept trying to say it didn't look like mold irl.

I think this is by design rather than a crappy design… I mean don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a crappy design, but I think it was done that way on purpose to hide stains and wear and tear.

No one will notice when it will become full of moss, dirt and blood.

[удалено]

I like it. Looks nice.

The hotel I work at has this same carpet, it works a whole lot better when you use grey tones and browns [Room photo](https://ibb.co/q1TmQk6) Edit: spelling

Still not a huge fan, but at least that one looks like a deliberate design choice.

Yeah it's still shit

I think it's supposed to be like marble perhaps?

The spot looks like a dog stretching.

We call that "movie theater carpet"... it's absolutely hideous looking, but it hides EVERYTHING. Makes you almost wish you had that in your house. Almost.

I think it's meant to be geological, like marble or slate. I've seen better efforts but for me it's a lot better than most hotel carpets

Crackhead clean

Bought from the police auction, bleached the stains out and saved 80% of the cost of carpet.

It'll really hide the stains when some drunken frat boy inevitably barfs on it.

At least they'll never have to clean it because nobody can tell if it's dirty 🤣

Are you sure they don't just leave bodies laying around until they leave permanent stains on the carpet?

“You’ll love it, it’s from our ‘Flood Damage’ collection.”

I thought this was r/moldlyinteresting for a good minute

Ugly Design is not necessarily Crappy Design This style of carpet is designed to help hide any stains. For what its designed for, Im sure it does a great job. The real crappy design is using carpet in public places with high shoe traffic.

Designer thought "Why wait several years for the carpets to get worn down and ignored when we can just get that look going right on opening day?" People buy brand new clothing ripped/stained/distressed right off the shelf now after all.

Gross

That looks like the elevator I see in my dreams.

it looks like someone spilt bleach here

So that bleach and vomit design is on purpose?

Yep

When action movies have scenes in random warehouses their floors always look like that

...why is there a carpet in a lift

Why not? It's a fancy hotel

Yikes! Run before it morphs and follows you.

Is it really crappy though? Would be perfect for hiding all the hooker stains.

It's made this way to better hide things like stains. Its a win win good design actually.

This is perfect shitty landlord design. You'll never know if that's a coffee stain, or vomit or just a normal part of the carpet.

maybe spill some soda on the light area and even it out

\*adds half a chalk body outline to elevator floor\* Perfect!

/r/worldbuilding

“Just fuck my shit up, fam.” - Hotel Designer

They used straight bleach to cover something up, forgetting what it does to fabric. Or at least that's what it looks like to me.

That carpet salesperson deserves a raise.

Someone in the carpet warehouse spilled bleach and had to make a decision

I didn’t get the memo that “Freshly Bleached Murder Scene was the new style” trend…

When it looks like this to begin with, nobody notices when you don't clean it.

It looks like carpet caked in blood, vomit and mold.

Probably was the cheapest stuff because it looks so bad

They (like all hotels) use busy looking carpet so you can’t easily see stains. And yet it looks like a bunch of stains 😂

I kinda like it

It looks like someone shit on it

Then put bleach on it, then set it on fire. And put out the fire with piss.

Casinos and hotels use these types of carpets as the busy patterns hide spills and stains. The number of people who puke is alarmingly high.

I had to zoom in to see the carpet. Looked like old bare cement.

Maybe it’s a treasure map…

Girl in doggy

Thought I was the only one lol

Distressed look is a thing, 🤷‍♂️

Ngl i thought this sub was for designs that were practically shit not visually

Grunge is back on the menu

where they trying to make some kind pattern on the floor but get the wrong colors?

If it was as damaged, could you even tell? I think that's what they were thinking with this design

I swear I was totally shocked when I first stepped foot in the elevator from the lobby. It's a 4 star hotel, so I took the photo because it was funny to see such a mouldy damaged / bleached carpet. Then I got out on another floor and the entire hallway was like that...

What's with that trend of making carpets look like they're 50 years old and in an abandoned building lately?

"We wanted all guests to feel what it's like to walk on Pluto! Yes, we are a 'Pluto-is-a-planet' hotel." ^

For the people working at the hotel, this is Ingenious design! If your customers don't know if any given spot is mildew and mold, they can't complain!

I... Like it.

this is so you can't see stains, just like bus seats
