STAIRS AND WATERFALL EFFECTS

Updated 19 April 2010

How can you have stairs or a waterfall in your restaurant? Both follow the same principle based on an optical illusion, which can be achieved by following these indications.*
1. Enter the "Redecorate" mode (by clicking on the icon displaying the hammer symbol)
*
2. Place the floor tiles following this order:*

-Dark Green: These are the hedges or the dividing walls. In this case they are hedges.
-Light Green: These are the lighter coloured tiles, in this case grass-green colour.
-Coffee: These are the dark tiles, in this case earth-brown.

3. Place the hedges or dividing walls.*
*
4.Place the dark tiles, in this case earth-brown.*
*
5. Place the lighter coloured tiles, in this case grass-green.*
*
6. And you have achieved the "stairs" effect, to have the waterfall follow the same procedure but with water-like tiles. Alternatively you can use white curtains.*
