How to Create Custom Designs & Use the Custom Design Pro Editor
Tatami mat layout image from Itou Tatami Store. |
This is an example of how to lay out tatami mats. You can use this as reference when placing your tatami mat designs on the ground.
When placing the tatami mats inside rooms, you can use only 2 design slots, since custom designs placed as mats can be rotated using Designer Mode. You can use the 2 horizontal tiles, or the 2 vertical tiles, and just rotate them as needed.
If you want to place the mats outside, you will need to use the 4 design slots that we created in the section above, since you cannot rotate designs outside.
This tatami mat design is created by Micho-san. It has a fresh look, and you can lay out 4 to 6 tiles as a single tatami mat, giving you a luxurious feeling.
