A form of parquet flooring, herringbone arranges wooden blocks in a zig-zag pattern to produce beautiful results. As the name suggests, herringbone is a design inspired by (of all things) a fish. More to the point, the skeleton of a fish!
The herringbone flooring pattern itself catches the eye immediately with its 90 degree interlocking slats, and can make any room in your home pop to life. Because it bends space to get the full effect of the pattern, herringbone flooring can look great in large sitting or dining rooms or long hallways. The size your herringbone pattern should depend partly on your personal aesthetic and partly on the size of the room. Larger rooms can sustain a larger, more sprawling herringbone pattern, while smaller rooms look better with a smaller, more compact pattern.
You do NOT need to conform to a single color when choosing the perfect combination for your herringbone surfaces. You can either evenly alternate colors per slab, or even per column!
Double and diagonal herringbone are both available to further personalize your living surroundings, and can be utilized separately or mutually. Double designs tend to be easier on the eyes, especially when implemented in smaller rooms.
