Wood flooring in Herringbone
Exploring the timelessness and beauty of wood, this material continues to be the preferred choice for transforming any space, even the kitchen and bathroom! Parquet, decking and laminate are taking center stage, and not just because of the wide variety of finishes, but also because of the exciting formats and installation patterns that shape the final aesthetic.
Remember those classic proposals that we loved so much?
Well yes, herringbone parquet is still a top choice in 2024! Beyond providing comfort and naturalness, it brings authenticity and that stately touch that we love so much. But do you think that all wood floors are the same?
Not even close!
The placement of the slats is a powerful stylistic resource. You decide whether you want it to blend in harmoniously, contrast with the decor or be the protagonist.
Herringbone Drawing: A Classic that is Updated
This elegant design, also known as ‘herringbone’ or ‘feather’, is back with a vengeance. Planks of equal length are laid perpendicularly, forming a 90° angle. The end result is a marvel that varies according to the dimensions and finish of the planks. Imagine a Meister parquet with good-sized planks and a bleached finish for a contemporary touch, or dark woods and narrow planks for classic ambiances!
And let's not forget the charm of double or triple herringbone planking - the result is denser and less stylish, but equally impressive! Herringbone planks tend to visually ‘widen’ the space, so orientation is key to achieving the desired effect.
Punta Hungría: Elegance and Dynamism
Let's go back to the 17th century in the French châteaux, where the Hungarian point parquet, also known as Chevron, was born. This design, with planks arranged at an angle of 45 to 60º and facing each other at the ends, brings dynamism to spaces. Light plays a crucial role, creating surprising effects. Although installation can be laborious, laminate floors, such as those from Quick-Step, have adopted this format to enjoy pointed patterns with an updated aesthetic!
Damero: Ideal in Retro Air Decorations
Let's revive nostalgia with checkerboard flooring, made up of tiles composed of planks laid in alternating directions. This traditional design is back on the scene, even in laminate flooring like Egger's! Patterns that play with geometries bring a retro touch to the décor.
Artistic Designs to Create Unique Environments
Have you marveled at handcrafted creations in historic mansions? Now you can bring that uniqueness to your home! Firms offer pieces of classic designs such as Versailles, Normandy or Chantilly, either in laminates that mimic them or as the protagonists of unique collections, such as Listone Giordano's. Imagine playing with perspective to optically transform your space and create an attractive enveloping effect!
Wooden floors are a classic that never fails to generate a great feeling of warmth and being a sustainable material. In addition, traditional patterns are making a strong comeback, conquering homes of all decorative styles (even the most minimalist), thanks to their visual power.
