How to style your herringbone
Whether you’re looking to add textural interest in an open plan home or visually enlarge a smaller room, a herringbone pattern will add personality.
Contemporary elegance
With clean lines that highlight the natural textures and colour variations in each plank, a herringbone floor is timelessly elegant. For a wide selection of modern wood designs explore our Art Select and Knight Tile 18” x 3” designs or our Van Gogh 18” x 4.5” herringbone planks. For impact in a larger room look to our Van Gogh 28” x 7” herringbone options.
Traditional parquet
Ideal for recreating classic style in a period home, our Art Select oak parquet designs come in traditional 9" x 3” planks which can be laid in either herringbone or block patterns.
Mix it up
For a statement style, why not combine complementary or contrasting designs for a stunning geometric effect. Select two, three or more of your favourite designs and get creative.
Double it
Add character to your home by doubling up the planks to create a unique herringbone design with plenty of personality.
Stunning stone
A stone herringbone floor is sure to bring a cool sophistication to any room, from kitchens and bathrooms to bedrooms and living rooms. Look to our Knight Tile, Opus and Van Gogh ranges for modern herringbone tiles in marble and limestone designs.
Room to room
Taking the same design from room to room in different sizes and patterns will create a sense of continuity whilst giving each space its own identity. There are so many options available, such as highlighting an activity area or creating a rug effect with a herringbone pattern alongside matching or contrasting full-size planks or tiles.
Go large
In larger open plan rooms, changing the scale by laying full-size planks in a herringbone pattern will add character without losing the feeling of space.
