Herringbone floors were first used in 16th-century
Originally reserved for the upper class, today the classic herringbone pattern can be enjoyed by homeowners all over the world and is a flooring layout that won’t date over time.
Will a herringbone pattern look good in my home?
If your room has more than one entryway or footpath, a herringbone pattern will feel right at home and naturally guide you through the space. Even in smaller areas like a stair landing or entryway, this pattern can add visual interest.
Designing A Herringbone Floor
With Karndean Designflooring luxury vinyl, there are options to create a herringbone pattern within all three of our product formats: gluedown, loose lay and rigid core.
Gluedown & loose lay
Any of our gluedown and loose lay floors can be easily installed in a herringbone pattern.
For small spaces
Looking to incorporate this pattern into a smaller space like a powder room? Our gluedown accent planks and tiles are scaled to these types of spaces!
Fast installation options
In rigid core, we offer several products from the Art Select and Korlok Select collections that feature a locking mechanism specifically designed for a herringbone pattern.
Herringbone versus chevron
Herringbone and chevron patterns are often confused with one another. In a herringbone pattern, pieces are laid at 90-degree angles to each other. In a chevron pattern, the edges of pieces are cut at an angle first. In our Knight Tile range, we offer 48” x 9” chevron planks that are ready to be installed without making additional end cuts.
