Recall the wall material. Why do you think the interior designer decided on that material? What other material could have been used Explain your choice.

I recently visited a coffee shop with a polished concrete floor. I believe the interior designer selected this material for its durability and industrial look, which complements the modern aesthetic of the coffee shop. An alternative material that could have been used is hardwood flooring, which would have added warmth and a different texture to the space.

The walls of the coffee shop were covered in exposed brick, giving it a rustic and cozy atmosphere. I think the interior designer chose this material to create a warm and inviting ambiance. Another material that could have been used is reclaimed wood paneling, which would have provided a similar rustic feel but with a different texture and color variation.
