Some carpets span wall to wall, other area rugs are cut to fit particular spaces. This highly-custom carpeting, however, has to be the most useless creation ever from a functional standpoint. Fortunately, it is strangely hilarious as a semi-subversive take on one of the most conventional home materials around the world (and a luxury version no less).

Carefully trimmed to follow the edges of each room and to avoid providing support for chairs and other furnishings, this ornate carpet has a lovely embossed pattern and rich red-and-gold coloring … but does nothing that a normal carpet would do. Moreover, it would likely cost more and take longer to install than actually useful flooring options.
