Most rosea webs are not really visible, they just web in the dirt so they can navigate their surroundings, and make little feeding mats when they eat/molting mats when they molt. My rosie made a half-hearted attempt to web on the wall once, but gave up after covering about a 2x5 inch rectangle and never tried it again.
Tarantulas don't really make "designs" like you're thinking of, that's mostly true spiders. When a T makes a big web it's usually a big shapeless mass, whether an arboreal "tube" to serve as a burrow or making a solid shelter out of existing tank decorations or whatever.
My GBB's tank looks like someone put a white sheet over everything, and when she occasionally gets it into her head to do more (usually around molting time) it's...well, a big shapeless blob of web all over everything until she gets bored with it and tears it down.
My GBBs go for the design of "cover absolutely everything in web". They don't really build 3D structures they just 'wallpaper' everything so it looks like it's been snowing in their tanks. It's pretty cool
My A. versicolor made a cool arboreal shelter...tunnels going everywhere etc. My GBB is like everyone elses...lots of web, but it just basically covers everything.
