Herringbone Flooring
A precise pattern that changes how a room reads.
Herringbone turns a floor into a considered surface. Set at 45°, framed with a clean border, it draws the eye and gives a room a sense of intention.
Herringbone is defined by its layout. Each board is cut square and set against the next at a right angle, so the pattern lives or dies on accurate marking and a straight, centred starting line. We set out from the room, not the wall, so the pattern stays balanced as it meets doorways, transitions and stairs.
A picture-frame border — sometimes with a fine inlay — gives the field a crisp edge and lets the pattern turn corners cleanly. It is one of the details that separates a herringbone floor that looks bought from one that looks made.
Herringbone works especially well in entries, principal rooms and open-plan spaces where the floor is part of the architecture. Where it meets tile or a staircase, the transition is planned in advance so the pattern resolves rather than simply stops.
