Floor Portal Rugs: A 3D Hole in the Floor, Printed as a Rug You Can Walk On
The floor falling away is the boldest of the illusions: the boards caved in to a drop below, a trapdoor hanging open, a crust of rock cracked over glowing lava, a flight of stone stairs going down into the deep. People stop at the edge even when they know. Here you make one with your own picture at the bottom of it, an underground river, a cave, a city seen from far above, a dragon looking up.
Floor openings are printed as a flat rug, not a sticker. A vinyl sticker on a floor is a slip hazard, and a rug lies flat, can be walked on and moved, and comes up for cleaning. The floor theme includes the caved-in floor, the trapdoor, the lava crust and the stairs into the deep, most in square, landscape and portrait, each from a master about 4K across so the edges stay crisp at rug size.
Your picture is set into the opening with the broken rim's shadow across it, so it reads as depth from standing height. Try it on a photo of your own floor: take the photo, click where the hole goes, and see it before you order. The photo stays in your browser. Pair it with a ceiling portal above for a room that opens both ways.

Frequently asked questions
Why is a floor portal a rug and not a sticker?
A sticker on a floor is a slip hazard, and it scuffs and peels where people walk. A rug lies flat, is safe to walk on, and can be lifted, moved and cleaned.
Does the illusion work from standing height?
Yes, the floor openings are drawn to be seen from above at an angle, the way you see a floor. The rim's shadow over your picture gives the drop its depth.
What picture works best at the bottom of the hole?
Something that looks far away and below: lava, water, a cave, clouds or a city from the air. A creature looking up out of the dark is a good scare.
