Why Choose Herringbone Engineered Wood?

The main benefit of herringbone flooring is the beautiful pattern. Laid in a staggered V-shaped design, it’s named after the herring fish skeleton and dates back to the Ancient Roman Empire. Herringbone became popular as a floor pattern in France in the 1600s and was seen as a symbol of elegance. Choosing herringbone engineered wood is a great choice because of its many benefits, including:

  • Aesthetic appeal: Herringbone wood flooring adds visual complexity to rooms, making them feel more dynamic and elegant.
  • Makes your room look bigger: If you have a smaller space, herringbone flooring can enhance the room and make it look larger and more spacious.
  • Durability: Engineered herringbone wood is a durable flooring choice as it’s hardwearing, scratch and stain resistant. With multiple layers, it’s less prone to changes in humidity, and it holds its shape over time.
  • Various styles: With a range of colours, finishes, stains, and effects, you can create a custom look for your home. Choose from rustic oak to dark herringbone wood flooring.
  • Simple installation: Choose from click or tongue and groove methods which are DIY friendly.
  • Easy to maintain: Our herringbone engineered wood usually comes with a protective finish, which makes cleaning simple. Simply sweep regularly to keep your floor looking great.

Which Herringbone Wood Style Should I Choose?

When finding the right flooring for your home, you should consider the colour and effect of the wood. All of our herringbone flooring can be found in oak engineered wood, a very popular traditional choice for homes. We also offer the below types:

  • Natural wood herringbone: This has a warm, golden tone and creates a traditional look.
  • Grey herringbone wood: A subtle, cool-toned grey that is popular for modern, industrial or coastal decors and adds a sense of sophistication, perfect with a neutral base.
  • White herringbone wood: Popular for its modern, clean look, this herringbone wood floor works well in minimalist and contemporary interiors and is ideal for opening up smaller spaces.
  • Black herringbone wood: Featuring a rich stain, this herringbone engineered wood is striking and dramatic, adding a bold statement to modern interiors.
  • Distressed finish: A rustic and vintage appearance, this finish features intentional wear marks and texture, great for high-traffic areas and creating a cosier feel.
  • Fumed finish: This finish style darkens the wood and brings out the natural grain patterns, resulting in a rich brown or amber hue. It works well in classic interiors and adds depth and richness to a space.
  • Rustic finish: Perfect for embracing the wood characters, this style enhances natural textures such as knots, cracks and grain variations for an inviting appearance.
  • Smoked oak: This tone darkens the oak and deepens the grain, perfect for crafting a moody and dramatic aesthetic in your home.

Throughout our colours and styles, you can also find both glossy and matte finishes. To learn more, read our Engineered Wood Finishes Guide. If you’re struggling to decide, you can order up to 3 free samples to test our herringbone wood flooring in your room.

Which Room Should I Use Engineered Herringbone In?

Herringbone flooring is a bold and timeless choice that works in any room. It is most commonly used to elevate dining spaces or in kitchens to add a sense of style and movement to the heart of the home. Herringbone can also set a tone in your home through entryways and hallways or create an inviting living space in your lounge.

Herringbone engineered wood is not advised in bathrooms as it is not waterproof. However, you can still achieve the same patterned design using herringbone LVT, which boasts fully waterproof layers, ideal for splashes.

Is It Easy To Install And Maintain?

Yes, our installation methods for herringbone-engineered wood are simple and easy. Choose from a click function, which clicks and locks in place, or tongue and groove fitting, which locks into each other as you lay them. No additional materials, such as adhesives, are required for either installation type, allowing for hassle-free fitting.
