The rich shades of green, red and blue found in this flooring makes for a great conversation piece.

5.Concrete Floor


When you hear “concrete floor,” you might think that sounds like a recipe for a pretty boring floor. However, this concrete floor was made thanks to a San Francisco based company called Transparent House. With a design like this one, your guests will be completely captivated by the unexpected.

6.Finsbury Avenue Square

This is a floor that may leave you asking, “What exactly is going on in Belgium anyway?” Belgian artist Wim Delvoye has taken to making floors out of salami that resembles marble. This interesting concept seems like something out of one of Homer Simpson’s best dreams. Just be careful not to chip a tooth attempting to gnaw on this floor.

9. Sears Glass Floor (Look Out Below)

While there may be tall buildings popping up all over the world these days, few still have the presence of the Sears Tower in Chicago.

There aren’t too many places around the world where one can get a glimpse of a major world city from one hundred floors up while looking down!

10. Copper Coin Floor


Do you have money burning a hole in your pocket? Then you may want to consider creating your floor out of change. However, in reality, creating this floor really wouldn’t cost as much as you would think. It is constructed from nothing more than pennies.
