When it comes to home renovations, your own style needs to be prominent throughout. After all, you&#;re the one who will be living in it. If you&#;re not comfortable or in love with your own home, then how can you expect others to be?
Herringbone flooring comes in many different colours and variations. Whilst some lend themselves to contemporary interiors, others will look just as at home in older interiors &#; just as they did when herringbone wood flooring first made its way into homes in the late 16th Century.
A form of parquet flooring, herringbone arranges wooden blocks in a zig-zag pattern to produce beautiful results. This is how parquet flooring is defined &#; using wooden blocks to create geometric patterns.
We&#;ve collated our six favourite home interiors that use herringbone flooring in different ways. Hopefully, this can give you some inspiration if you&#;re considering herringbone for your home!
If you&#;re looking to combine two of the hottest interior trends, then grey wood flooring in a herringbone pattern is a perfect choice. Beautiful, eye-catching, hard-wearing, versatile &#; grey herringbone ticks all of those boxes and more.

Featured above is our Marylebone Apollo Grey Oak. It&#;s an engineered wood, so it boasts an authentic wood look and feel. It&#;s also a flooring that&#;s suitable for use with underfloor heating.
If you can&#;t get enough of the herringbone design, why not double-up? We love how this dining room uses herringbone parquet on both the floors and the table! If you like this style and fancy taking it on, one of our customers made a great DIY herringbone table. If not, you can buy handmade tables in a range of sizes and styles, whilst supporting small businesses, on Etsy.
Herringbone is a dynamic design choice when it comes to wood flooring. Meaning, it can be combined with a varied range of styles to suit your personal taste. We love how this home uses velvet-upholstered furniture to complement the natural tones of this parquet.
It&#;s now a common occurrence to see the herringbone pattern in kitchens. A match for both traditional and modern kitchen units and appliances, it oozes class regardless of its setting.

If you do plan on using herringbone parquet in your kitchen, we advise you use an engineered wood. Because of its composition, it&#;s less susceptible to damage from fluctuating temperatures or moisture. You could even substitute the real wood for herringbone luxury vinyl tiles, which are even more suited to life in a busy family kitchen.
Another alternative we recommend is EvoCore 360. This versatile flooring features a 360 click-lock system allowing for it to be laid in beautiful herringbone designs, as well as being 100% waterproof, aiding in EvoCore 360 being suitable for any room of the home.

Patterned wood flooring installation doesn&#;t get any more stunning than herringbone. Of all the possible layouts, herringbone brings personality to a space while also emitting a timeless appeal.
Herringbone (sometimes referred to as parquet block) is a popular style in which small wooden planks are placed in zigzags, creating a design that emulates the bones of a fish in a very chic way. You can use solid hardwood or engineered hardwood to achieve a herringbone layout, and regardless of which you choose, the result will be stunning.
However, there are other considerations other than design you should account for when choosing between solid and engineered hardwood. Learn about them in our blog, Which Hardwood Flooring is Best for You?
Now let&#;s get to our top five reasons you should consider herringbone wood floors.
5 Reasons to Consider Herringbone Wood Flooring Installation
1. Adds Character to Rooms
Herringbone is one of the most popular wood flooring installation styles because it combines a natural material look with extra visual interest. This can help bring drama and atmosphere to a room without having to go big and bold in other elements of the design &#; wall colour, furniture, rugs, artwork etc. A good floor is a staple in any home, and the herringbone is a great choice to make it pop.
2. Durable and Long-Lasting
You can never go wrong with wood flooring installation, and herringbone floors are no exception. Wooden floors are timeless both in their durability and style. Paying the extra money for quality wooden floors is worth it since they come with the assurances of resale value and that they will not wear out or go out of style.
Add the herringbone design to this&#;a pattern absorbs compression and increases structural stability&#;and you&#;ve got an even more robust floor.
3. Customized Look
While herringbone is a classic layout, it gives a personalized look to your flooring&#;especially when you use more eclectic colour and textures. For instance, an unfinished hardwood floor in a herringbone layout can create a simultaneously rugged and elegant aesthetic that will instantly elevate the appearance of your space for a more customized creation. No matter the wood type, finish, or plank size, laying it in a herringbone pattern will help it stand out from straight layouts.
4. European Style
There&#;s no question that Europe is known for being stylish in all facets, and home architecture is no exception. Herringbone is incredibly popular throughout Europe, especially France, so if you want some Parisian sophistication in your space, this floor layout is a perfect way to go.
5. Creates Movement and Space in Your Home
The zigzagging layout of a herringbone wood flooring installation creates arrows on your floor which produce the look of movement. This intricate design will bring some fluidity and life into your space. It can also help make rooms look longer and larger than they are. Naturally your eye will be drawn to the widest part of the design, which takes your eye in the direction they go. So consider it in foyers, hallways and bathrooms for a grandiose feel.
