HERRINGBONE FLOORING
Also often referred to as parquet flooring (although parquet actually comes in laying patterns other than herringbone) this is a trend that is absolutely everywhere right now. Herringbone flooring has many benefits, as well as looking super stylish. Not only can it make small spaces feel bigger, but it is also a great way to add texture and interest to a larger space. Although solid timber herringbone flooring can be expensive and time consuming to lay, there are other options, including engineered planks, luxury vinyl tile and laminate. You could even consider timber-effect ceramic or porcelain floor tiles laid in a herringbone pattern.
