Pattern

Floor tiles and fabric prints tend to be similar in style. They vary in degree of intricacy and design but they it seems if you can have a pattern in a fabric print you can with a floor tile and vice versa. For fabric prints it seems to depend on the material for the detail of the pattern. While with tiles it seems to depend on size, the bigger the tile the more detailed they can be. Islamic architecture seems to be very detailed and intricate, but done in extremely large portions, encompassing streets, walkways, and buildings. Tiles are more self contained if only because of their size, while fabrics are able to be more open and unrestrained because of their size. I like the fabric patterns a lot because they are free flowing and seem to be more interesting. Islamic architecture is also very interesting because it is so detailed and also so vast.
