Unique hotel carpet creates optical illusion – and people point out smart use
A picture of the carpet has been shared on the mildly infuriating thread on Reddit - where it sparked a debate among 1,500 users. So can you see what's going on?
Hotel guests have been left utterly baffled by a carpet with an 'optical illusion' design.
The carpet, which has become a talking point on Reddit's mildly infuriating thread, has divided opinion among its 1,500 commentators.
While some argue it's an accident waiting to happen, others praise the ingenuity behind it, claiming it would certainly make them and their kids tread more carefully in the hotel. The deceptive black and purple pattern creates the illusion of dips in the floor, although it's completely level.
The general consensus is the hotel likely installed the carpet as a clever ploy to prevent guests from running in the halls, which can lead to mishaps and noise complaints.
One Reddit user remarked: "I feel like that's super cool, but also I would fall down immediately." Another chimed in with: "Imagine walking down this hallway while drunk."
