Herringbone flooring, a trend that never goes out of style

Herringbone floors have a special charm, they were a very marked trend several decades ago and, although they have never stopped being fashionable, they are now making a strong comeback.

Herringbone floors are classic and versatile, they not only fit in stately environments, they can be the ideal option to contrast in spaces of industrial, Nordic or rustic inspiration. This type of wooden flooring is captivating, it is entering a house with a herringbone floor and immediately feeling that we are in a charming and stylish home.

In addition to finding them mainly in homes, we can also see them in offices and in charming establishments such as coworks, cafeterias...

If we choose herringbone parquet we will be able to give greater prominence to our floor, creating a very sophisticated dynamic visual effect. This zigzag arrangement is a trend not only in this type of flooring, we often see it in wall decoration, in geometric prints for home textiles and even in mosaics on bathroom or kitchen walls.

If we are looking for a timeless floor that does not go out of style, the herringbone arrangement is our solution and, if we have a home with high ceilings, the decorative effect we will achieve will be typical of palaces and historic buildings of the sixteenth century.

Now we can also make herringbone floors with alternative materials to wood

We can create this composition with laminates or ceramic tiles that imitate wood that, in addition to providing us with a riskier and more modern result, will benefit us if we are looking to reduce costs.

Herringbone parquet to create dynamism

The herringbone arrangement can vary, for example we can place parks in double herringbone, forming the scheme using two boards instead of one.

The French dowel is another option when it comes to placing it, although it has the particularity that the boards are mitered, manually, so it is an expensive installation and, in these cases, it is convenient to have specialists.

What type of wood to choose?

The type of wood is also important and the choice we make can help us to subtract that stately aspect of this type of flooring has. For example, we can opt for light or white colors for Nordic environments and darker wood if we want a more classic and sophisticated environment. And, of course, the wood finish, natural wood is suitable for more rustic environments or country houses, with an aged effect we will achieve a very special vintage effect in our home and a varnished finish is ideal for a classic and elegant atmosphere.
