As I have mentioned previously the other room we are building is a dining/living room. As a group we eventually decided on a generalized look for this set. We wanted it to be vaguely 1900s as that is the era in which Franz Kafka lived and worked and we wanted it originally to resemble a middle class prague household. The problem was that as a group we could not agree entirely on location as some people thought tat it would be apt to give it a more western feel, of for example England during this time or that of the victorian era. Due to this we as a group looked at various sources from both and came up with an aged but almost ageless hybrid of the two elements.
In my opinion this represents a good example of the worn lower middle class fallen on hard times look of the room in the story. Everything has a dusty neglected feel to it and the wallpaper is flowery yet faded. This puts me in mind of the 1900s with the carpet ont covering the whole floor and the worn floorboards, which were the reason I looked at this picture in the first place. The floors for both rooms are my responsibilty in design and creation. This is the general look I want for the floor in the main room. Floorboards partly covered by carpet with a worn slightly dusty but still lived in look.
