 Watch out—if you aren’t careful, you might fall through this giant hole in the floor! Well, not quite, but the optical illusion rugs of designer Scott Jarvie will make you think so.

Things look different under, for example, fluorescent office lighting than they do in softer, lounge lighting so our brain makes an adjustment to make sure that we still see strawberries as red, regardless of where we're eating them.
