Chevron Flooring

Chevron flooring is a distinctive and elegant style of hardwood flooring that is characterized by its V-shaped pattern.

This pattern is created by cutting the hardwood planks at a 45-degree angle and then placing them in a way that forms a continuous zigzag design. The result is a visually striking and sophisticated floor surface that adds a touch of timeless charm to any space. Chevron flooring is often confused with herringbone flooring, which has a similar pattern but is laid in a staggered, broken zigzag fashion. The key difference lies in the continuous and uninterrupted flow of the chevron pattern, providing a sense of continuity and fluidity.

This style of flooring has a rich history, with origins dating back to the 17th century in France. The term “chevron” itself refers to a type of heraldic shield with a V-shaped pattern, and this design was later adapted for use in flooring to create a luxurious and upscale aesthetic. Chevron flooring is popular in both traditional and modern interiors, offering a versatile and timeless appeal. It can be found in a variety of wood species, finishes, and colors, allowing homeowners and designers to customise the look to suit their individual tastes and the overall design scheme of the space.

Chevron Flooring FAQs

The V-shaped cousin of herringbone — here’s what to know before choosing chevron.

What is the difference between chevron and herringbone flooring?

Chevron planks are cut on an angle so their ends meet in a continuous point, creating a clean V or zigzag running across the room. Herringbone uses rectangular planks laid in a staggered, interlocking pattern for a more woven look. Chevron reads as sharper and more contemporary; herringbone as more classic.

Does chevron flooring suit small rooms?

Yes — the continuous V-pattern draws the eye along the direction of the points, which can make narrow or small spaces feel longer. Lighter colour tones enhance the effect.

Is chevron flooring harder to install?

Yes. The angled plank ends must align precisely so every point meets cleanly, which takes careful setout and more cutting than a straight-lay floor. Allow extra material for wastage and use an experienced installer for the best result.

What materials does chevron flooring come in?

Chevron is available in engineered timber, hybrid, laminate and vinyl. Engineered timber is the classic choice, while hybrid and laminate deliver the same look with click-together installation and easier upkeep.

Is chevron flooring just a trend?

Parquet patterns including chevron have featured in European homes for centuries. Its current popularity is a resurgence of a classic rather than a passing fad, so it’s a safe long-term choice.
