Parquet flooring from light wood to darker tones, herringbone or chevron floors can be used in many types of home decor. From elegant and classic style to modern to rustic, Herringbone and Chevron parquet flooring can add not only architectural details but dimension, texture and sometimes even drama when used in contrasting colors as the second image below illustrates. These types of parquet wood floors share two very similar types of zigzag pattern, and it’s easy to confuse one with the other. For those still confused, Chevron pattern floors meet at a straight line, forming a more zigzag or rectangular design, while a Herringbone floor, the ends butt against each other, cut at an angle creating a broken zigzag pattern. Herringbone floor may make installation more challenging than chevron floor, but both types of wood flooring design are equally worth the work and time.
Difference between Chevron and Herringbone
In this space above the tiles are thick but still form a beautiful black and white chevron floor. Love how the wood paneling and coffered ceiling warm up the space.
In this library that never gets old, It gets better every time I look at it, the herringbone wood flooring adds to the elegant atmosphere.
The decor in this home office is light and young with a light desk, acrylic chair, and herringbone floor.
A vintage but refined space with honed finish herringbone floor.
I love the tropical feel in this classic bathroom. Here the Interior Designer used thinly elongated tiles to form a herringbone floor.
How beautiful is this entryway? Nature seems to come inside this entryway where bricks were installed in a herringbone pattern floor.
A modern and open kitchen opens to the garden with marble island and herringbone floor.
Chevron tiles in this bathroom in different shades add dimension and warm.
A very interesting hallway when the floor is in a chevron pattern. The
clever use of what it seems to be the kitchen island piercing through
the pivoting window facilitates entertaining while adding interest to
the room.
