The greatest thing about the internet is that no matter how long you have been using it, it still has the ability to surprise you. Would you have ever thought that there’s a guy who takes pictures of hotel carpets and posts them on Instagram? That’s the Internet for you. Bill Young is a corporate pilot based in Texas, and his job necessitates he stay in a lot of hotels. Back in 2015, during a routine layover, he noticed how odd the carpet design was. So he took a photo and uploaded it to his personal Instagram. Soon he began noticing other odd hotel carpet designs, and @MyHotelCarpet was born… and he even made a book full of hotel carpet photos!
If you wish to look at boring carpet photos even when your internet is offline, get yourself a hotel carpet book on Amazon.
I wonder if he got carpeted for doing this? 😁
I’m sure it comes as a surprise to no one, but these busy patterns are good at hiding dirt, stains, and bugs.
@The Real Anon: no shit…
It’s about time.
I’ll take this influencer over all the other ones any time, any day, anyhow.
@The one and only Anonymous They hide that too
Well he didn’t sweep anything under it!
My roommate in college used to call this “pizza carpet” — able to camouflage someone dropping a slice of pizza on it — face-down — and never know the difference.
Hmm, I wonder how much foot-traffic his Instagram gets.
this is oddly fascinating o.O
You guys are tripping. This feed is way better than the ones with endless pics of kids at soccer games or some shit.
Having spent a lifetime in the hospitality and stayed at a somewhat reduced rate in various five and four star hotels , I found the subject fascinating . Yes sometimes carpets can cover small stains but a lot of professional and design thought goes into lobby carpets and also into the coordination of carpets in suites .
I have always loved hotel carpet. It is so varied, but still of a kind. I’d buy this book
Most of these carpets actually aren’t that unusual. I’ve seen some very similar.
These are actually pretty cool.
Does he hate these carpets? Is that…”carpet burn”? :D
