Whether you prefer Scandinavian, classic or vintage style, herringbone is a great option. Interestingly, this type of flooring can also work well with modern style. Combining different kinds of conventions and styles works great.
Herringbone parquet has more than one name, as you may already know. Deciding on this type of flooring, we can choose from several types. We are talking about French, Hungarian or classic herringbone.
How do they differ? French herringbone, by many people the most desired pattern, is laid from planks cut at an angle of 45 degrees on the shorter edges. When folded, the planks form a 90-degree angle between them. This somewhat resembles the shape of an arrowhead. We must admit that it looks extremely elegant. In the case of Hungarian herringbone, the planks are cut at an angle of 60 degrees, and after folding the rains form an angle of 120 degrees between them.
In the case of classic herringbone, the parquet is laid in such a way that the shorter side of a plank joins the longer side of the other plank at a right angle. Which effect is best? It already depends on individual preference.
Regardless of which parquet pattern you choose, one thing is certain. Herringbone flooring looks extremely stylish and elegant. The interior, where it is located, immediately acquires a harmonious character. It is certainly not the cheapest option available on the market, but many people believe that for this effect it is worth spending a little more.
