What's on the Floor

Calamus is a hand-chopped mosaic composed of nearly 20 colors of marble and other fine stones, including metallics that produce an iridescent sheen. It's laid in a repeating scallop or peacock pattern. All mosaics are made to measure; price on request. New Ravenna, (757) 442-3379, newravenna.com

2. COLOR AND LIGHT

The Greek Deco floorcloth from the Dresser collection features an intricate pattern of decorative ornaments and diamond sunbursts in a palette that produces a shimmering effect.
