I saw a carpet seam in a hotel lobby that looked like a river on a map

I was at the Grand Plaza Hotel in Springfield last week and the main lobby carpet has this wild, swirling pattern. The installers must have had a real time trying to match it up, because one seam near the front desk follows a dark blue line perfectly, making it look like a little stream. Has anyone else run into a pattern that just happened to line up with a seam in a funny way?

Actually, a good installer would have planned the layout to avoid that. Seams should be hidden in the pattern's natural breaks, not become part of the design. It sounds like a lucky accident, not proper work.

You're right, I used to think that way too.

Guess we found the expert in the comments. So a happy accident means it's bad work now? Sometimes things just work out, and that's fine. Not every single detail needs a master plan.
