Herringbone flooring is a distinctive and timeless pattern that involves arranging rectangular planks or tiles in a zigzag or V-shaped pattern, resembling the skeleton of a herring fish.
This classic design has been employed in various architectural and interior design styles for centuries, dating back to ancient Roman times. Herringbone flooring offers a sophisticated and elegant aesthetic, creating a visually striking and dynamic effect in any space. The pattern can be achieved with various flooring materials, including engineered timber, hybrid, vinyl or laminate, providing versatility for different interior styles.
In Australia, herringbone flooring has recently gained significant popularity due to its ability to add a touch of luxury and refinement to both traditional and contemporary homes.

Frequently Asked Questions about Herringbone Flooring
Yes, herringbone flooring tends to be pricier than traditional straight-lay flooring. The increased cost is due to:
– More complex installation process
– Additional material needed (usually 10-15% more)
– Higher labour costs due to the intricate pattern
Yes, laying herringbone flooring is considered more difficult than standard flooring installations. It requires:
– Precise measurements and cuts
– Careful planning and layout
– Skilled installation techniques
– More time and patience
We recommend hiring experienced installers like our own flooring installers for the best results.
Herringbone flooring can make a room appear larger, especially when:
– Using larger planks
– Laying the pattern diagonally
– Choosing lighter colour tones
The pattern creates visual interest and movement, which can elongate the space and draw the eye across the room.
While individual results may vary, herringbone flooring can potentially increase home value by:
– Adding a touch of luxury and sophistication
– Creating a unique, eye-catching feature
– Demonstrating high-quality craftsmanship
However, the impact on home value depends on various factors, including local property market conditions and buyer preferences.
Herringbone flooring is generally considered timeless. It has been used for centuries in European architecture and design. While it’s currently experiencing a resurgence in popularity, its classic appeal means it’s likely to remain stylish for years to come.
The busyness of herringbone flooring depends on several factors:
– Room size (can be overwhelming in small spaces)
– Plank size (larger planks create a less busy look)
– Colour and contrast of the timber
– Surrounding decor
To minimise a busy appearance, consider using larger planks, monochromatic colour schemes, or pairing with simple, clean-lined furniture.
To complement herringbone flooring:
– Use solid colours or simple patterns in furnishings and decor
– Consider stripes or geometric patterns in moderation
– Pair with organic shapes and textures for balance
– Opt for chevron patterns in small doses (e.g., throw cushions)
Remember, the key is to let the herringbone pattern be the star of the show while other elements play supporting roles.
