There’s so much to love about the timeless herringbone pattern. Originally gracing the floors of stately European palaces and mansions back in the 16th and 17th centuries, parquetry herringbone was considered the ultimate in sophistication. Its geometric V-shape design added a formal grace and elegance to interior flooring.
In good news for those of us who don’t happen to own a European palace, the use of the herringbone pattern quickly grew in popularity and has become widely available - and affordable. This versatile pattern is now seen in textiles, wall cladding, cabinetry and of course, furniture.
A few well-chosen herringbone furniture pieces can suit any interior style, from retro or minimalist through to traditional or contemporary.
