My favorite attribute Byzantine had on design was the interior style. The flooring was typically composed of marble tiles. The walls were highly ornamented. Either mosaic or fresco detailing covered the walls. The interiors were full of textures because of the use of mosaic tiling. Gold was a very popular color during this time as well. The interior spaces contained rounded arches as well as domes. They used pendentive construction to create the domes on a square base. The Hagia Sophia is one Byzantine structure that uses the pendentive construction.
