Flooring is available in a variety of materials, colours, patterns, and sizes. For example, you can choose from wide Vinyl or realistic and rock-solid Rigid Click Vinyl. If you prefer Oak Parquet, there are many options to choose from. If you’re thinking about a new herringbone floor, consider where it will be installed. Different rooms have different requirements for floors, whether functional or based on preferences. For instance, a bathroom floor must be more water-resistant, while a living room floor should match the look and style of the interior. Before purchasing a new floor, it’s important to keep these factors in mind.

Ask yourself

Before choosing a new herringbone floor, ask yourself what requirements it needs to meet. Make a list to get a clear picture. Do you need a floor that is suitable for every room in the house or do you want different floors for different levels? Or do you have underfloor heating? Maybe you want the floor in the bathroom as well? Answering these questions will help you narrow down your options and bring you closer to choosing the right herringbone floor.

Tip 2. Choose the material

Once you have a clear understanding of the rooms where you plan to lay your new herringbone floor, it becomes easier to determine which material is best suited to your situation. Are you looking for a floor that is suitable for underfloor heating, and plan to install it in every room of your house, including the bathroom, toilet, and kitchen? If so, a Herringbone Vinyl floor or a Herringbone Rigid Click Vinyl floor may be the best choice. If you prefer a real oak wood herringbone floor and want beautiful concrete-look Vinyl Tiles in the bathroom, then an Oak Herringbone floor may be the best option for you. In this step, you should choose the herringbone floor material that best suits your needs. That way, you’ll end up with a herringbone floor that is perfect for you.

Choosing the perfect herringbone floor to match your interior can be daunting. That’s why we’re here to help! All of our herringbone floors can be paired with a variety of interior styles. For instance, if you have a black kitchen, consider pairing it with a beautiful untreated or light oak floor. The contrast of black accents with a light floor creates an intimate atmosphere in your home. To make your design look even more luxurious, add black steel doors, for example.

Do you have a minimalist interior with light colours and lots of white? A light Herringbone Vinyl floor complements this style well. Its calm and natural design fits perfectly with a minimalist look. For a more unique pattern, consider the XL Whalebone Vinyl floor. With extra wide and long planks, this floor is the “big brother” of a standard herringbone floor. The Whalebone Vinyl – Orka Untreated is another great option that complements the neutral colours and clean shapes that characterise this style of living.

Do you love a classic living style? Then herringbone floors are perfect for you! This pattern has been around since the 17th century and Herringbone Laminate fits in perfectly with this style due to the characteristic wooden look of these floors. The Herringbone Laminate – Untreated Oak brings this living style together with distinctive accessories, creating a beautiful whole. The result is a chic and impressive colour palette.

Tip 4. Most beautiful fish in the sea

There are many types of flooring to choose from, but herringbone floors are particularly beautiful. Whether you prefer a real oak herringbone floor or a unique vinyl herringbone floor, it’s important to choose the one that appeals to you most.
