Do you have a larger room and want a focal point, so the eye doesn’t wander? This would be a good choice to choose short planks to create a tighter herringbone pattern.Some questions to ask yourself when remodeling your space is: You want to make sure nothing competes with the herringbone pattern because it really does give drama all on its own. It was originally used with wood but now it can be designed with any material you wish. You can use it as a backsplash, flooring, ceiling or even an accent piece to your space. It’s sophisticated but subtle way to create style and separate the space apart from your average design. The herringbone pattern is a classic look that may never go out of style because it gives a room depth and simplicity in a gorgeous way. It was also known for people to scatter sand on their dirt floors and sweep the floor in a decorative pattern similar to this. It started to become popular as a flooring in Europe as early as the 1500’s, starting out as brickwork again but in decorated churches and other buildings for centuries. It was also known in Ireland back in 600BC in horsehair textiles which added Celtic class. They interlocked the bricks while laying crushed stone underneath creating an impact absorption which prolonged the lifespan of the road. The Romans adopted the pattern when they built their roads. It dates back to the ancient Egyptians which made the pattern very popular with kings and queens.

See the diagram below for a visual illustration. The Chevron pattern occurs when the planks are cut at an angle so the zig meets the zag along a perfectly straight axis. Herringbone is when the planks are cut into perfect rectangles and then staggered a bit, so the end of one plank meets the side of another.

The difference between Herringbone and Chevron pattern:īoth of them are composed of pieces that are equal size and arranged in a zigzag pattern. In similar terms, it is a distinctive “V” shape. The blocks can be rectangles or parallelograms. The herringbone pattern is an arrangement of rectangles used for floor tilings and road pavement, so named for a fancied resemblance to the bones of a fish such as a herring.
