Herringbone Flooring - The Most Popular Choice.
Browse any interiors magazine or social media channel, and you'll find plenty of beautiful rooms featuring herringbone flooring. This classic pattern has surged in popularity over the past few years, and for good reason. Discerning homebuyers are willing to pay extra for homes with herringbone floors due to their visual interest, texture, and organic beauty. But have we reached peak herringbone? At Sheffield Flooring Co., we believe this timeless style is here to stay.
A herringbone floor brings many benefits, from adding a sense of space to smaller rooms to introducing character to large open-plan homes. Originally used in period homes, modern materials now offer greater versatility and practical benefits. Our herringbone flooring, with its hard-wearing surface and easy maintenance, is ideal for any room, including bathrooms and kitchens. Plus, our attention to detail ensures an authentic grain variation across the floor, providing a look and feel that could easily be mistaken for the real thing.
A patterned floor introduces options to create depth, texture, and interest. But with so many to choose from, how do you select a pattern that complements your home and style?
Classic Parquet
A traditional parquet floor instantly adds an interesting tactile surface and a comforting sense of history, bringing the therapeutic tranquility of nature into any space. Our collection includes warm tones like Blond Oak or Morning Oak and cooler contemporary colors like Storm Oak and Black Oak. The small scale of our 9” x 3” parquet tiles creates movement and makes rooms feel more spacious.
Double Vision
Our designers stay ahead of trends, which is why we’ve expanded our Van Gogh range with a new 18" x 4.5" plank size. Available in six authentic oak colorways, these look amazing in a double herringbone pattern, adding textural interest to open-plan homes or visually enlarging smaller rooms.
Modern Herringbone
For a contemporary style, our 18” x 3” herringbone tiles come in a wide range of colors. A grey-hued wood design like Glacier Oak or Grey Studio Oak is perfect for a monochrome palette, adding interest without overpowering the overall effect. A limed or washed oak design prevents a vintage home from looking dated. In a Scandi-style home, Washed Scandi Pine keeps things cool, while Savannah Oak warms up the space.
Chevron
A chevron pattern offers a twist on traditional herringbone, with a distinctive angular pattern set on a 45-degree slant. Our Van Gogh range includes three brushed oak chevron designs in cool grey, neutral blond, and warm golden browns.
Stone Designs
Luxury vinyl's versatility allows for herringbone patterns in materials like stone. Designs like Glacial Marble, Midnight Marble, Fumo, and Argento bring cool sophistication to any room, not just kitchens and bathrooms but living rooms and bedrooms too.
Mix It Up
Combining different materials and colors can create a unique effect. Blending similar shades adds subtle depth, while contrasting light and dark colors makes a statement. You can even combine wood and stone designs for a striking geometric pattern.
So, has herringbone had its day? Absolutely not! With stunning styling options and the freedom to design individual interiors, this elegant flooring style is set to grow stronger in the coming years. Explore the versatility of herringbone in your home with Sheffield Flooring Co.
