Herringbone Pattern Flooring
Herringbone pattern flooring is one of the most recognisable parquetry designs. Its distinctive zigzag layout adds movement, depth and character to a room while maintaining a refined and timeless appearance.
The pattern works well in both traditional and modern interiors, making it a popular choice for homes, offices and boutique commercial spaces.
Types of Herringbone Flooring
- Solid hardwood: Offers a traditional appearance, natural timber character and long-lasting performance.
- Engineered timber: Provides greater dimensional stability and suits many modern interiors.
- Luxury vinyl plank: Offers a herringbone look with easier installation and maintenance.
- Tile and stone: Suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and other areas where higher moisture resistance is required.
Herringbone vs Chevron Flooring
| Pattern | Details |
|---|---|
| Herringbone | Uses rectangular boards that meet at right angles, creating a broken zigzag pattern. |
| Chevron | Uses boards cut at an angle, usually 45 or 60 degrees, to form a continuous V-shaped pattern. |
| Overall appearance | Herringbone has a textured and traditional look, while chevron appears sharper and more continuous. |
