The glazed tile on the patio at the Le Sirenuse Hotel in Positano, my all-time favorite hotel.
Here are even more wonderful floors from my inspiration photo archives. No surprise, I saw three of these floors while traveling in Italy. I think it adds so much to interiors to do a cool, unexpected floor pattern or material. The first two images here are from wonderful hotels on the Amalfi Coast of Italy, showing colorful glazed terra cotta tiles. I love the fun color and pattern.
Terrazzo is another fascinating floor material that is used throughout Venice. The photo I took below shows the floor of the historic Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal, where I had my wedding. This floor reads so modern, with its smooth, durable finish and colorful marble fragments throughout. It complements the Hotel’s celebration of its traditional Italian interiors, mixed with the best of Italian modern furnishings.

The lobby lounge at the Hotel Palumbo in Ravello. How wacky are all the patterns together in this room; I love it!

I think rough stone flooring is so pretty when used in interiors. I love this patio below with small groundcover throughout. The rough pavers are organic and durable too. A slightly cleaned up version would be great in a family mudroom or country house entry.
The last photo shows a mosaic of dark tumbled stones that was used in a mudroom in a New Canaan,Connecticut home that I saw on the house tour last year. This floor looked gorgeous with the grey cabinetry throughout the space.

OK, so it’s an outdoor floor! Saw this on a garden tour in Northwest Connecticut last summer. Nice to see the ground without snow on it!
