Installing sisal flooring was a practical choice for the home office, as the original floor was not in the best condition. Its tight weave and uniform texture made it an ideal material for the space, which is also used a sitting/reading room. Adamik chose the animal hide for its irregular shape. "The room is an odd shape so doing an area rug was not going to work," he explains. Showing his ingenuity, Adamik confesses that the room is more of a lesson on making things work, as opposed to deliberate design. "Usually an office or guest room ends up with the leftover furniture that was edited from the rest of the house," he says. "Ours did too. It was finding a common theme and unifying it with color that made it work." The addition of the hide on the floor gives the room unity, with a dose of personality.
