Herringbone and chevron wood flooring: What sets them apart?

Herringbone and chevron patterns in wooden flooring have evolved from being exclusively associated with townhouses to becoming dominant trends in modern flooring.

At Antique Oak, we've created the LISTO collection, featuring French, Hungarian, and classic herringbone parquet floors, each offering three distinct aging levels. Let's delve into the unique characteristics of these patterns.

Classic herringbone

The classic herringbone pattern exudes natural beauty, durability, and timeless elegance, making it a versatile choice for any room. It involves laying the planks in a way that the shorter side of one plank connects at a right angle to the longer side of the next. This pattern offers a range of options in terms of plank lengths and widths.

French chevron wood flooring

Distinguished by its distinctive 45° angle cut on the shorter sides of the planks, French chevron flooring is ideal for traditionally decorated spaces, particularly formal living rooms.

It seamlessly blends into both traditional and modern settings, adding character and a touch of sophistication.

Hungarian chevron parquet

Featuring a 60° cut angle, the Hungarian chevron parquet presents a wider and gentler pattern compared to the French chevron. Resembling the broad head of an arrow, it creates a continuous, delicate, and symmetrical floor pattern, making it a perfect fit for spacious rooms.

Combining natural wood parquet in the Hungarian pattern with complementary design elements can result in spectacular visual effects, whether it's classic or modern in style.
