this style is not one i would choose

have to admit that have not seen this in person before

maybe it is meant to offset the formal furniture

or is it an old style where you need less long boards to complete the
floor

also interesing to see where some flooring is perpindicular to the entrances
and some is parallel

for a long entry the perpendicular looks better to my eye



That pattern works OK for a relatively small, square room, drawing the
eye to the table as the centerpiece.

It would work with a rectangular room, too, with a similarly
rectangular table. I don't think the difference in the geometry can
be that great and still have it look good though. I don't think I
would build a room around a piece of furniture, though.

Unfortunately, there is an extreme mismatch between the furniture style
and the flooring, which is too rustic. The flooring should have been
something knot-free, with tighter, straighter grain.

Again, I don't think I'd build a room around a piece of furniture but
I'd probably do the same because it would be less offensive with any
decor.
