Throughout history geometric shapes have been used as decorative motifs. Although many objects such as containers, fabrics, doors, windows and other bits of architecture have all been decorated using regular geometric designs we are going to focus specifically on walls and floors. Walls and floors are decorated using mosaics. A mosaic is the complete covering of a plane area with pieces usually called floor tiles that fit together exactly without covering each other or leaving any gaps between them. There is an unlimited number of ways to cover a plane and we are going to look at some of the more simple ones.
