I was laying vinyl plank in a Portland kitchen and the homeowner told me 'the seams are too perfect, it looks fake'.
He wanted me to intentionally stagger them less uniformly, which goes against every standard I was taught. Has anyone else had a client ask for an 'imperfect' look on purpose?

My last client wanted a "rustic" grout line. I feel you.

That line about seams being "too perfect" hits home. I get the trend toward organic looks, but asking a pro to ignore basic standards is wild. It's like paying for a straight paint job then asking for brush strokes on purpose. Some clients have a vision that fights the whole point of the material. You gotta stick to the rules that keep floors from failing later.
