The bewildering array of decisions that go into a home design project are enough to make anyone overwhelmed at times! Often enough, those small design details can make a living space absolutely spectacular! Something as subtle as the pattern in your interior finishes can create major impact and bring your living space to a whole new design level.

The herringbone pattern is created by placing rectangles in a staggered zigzag pattern, as shown below in the first picture. It is commonly found in tile work and parquet floors and adds sophisticated visual texture to any type of finish!

If you're wondering how to add a bit more interest to your home project, flooring laid in herringbone pattern may be the perfect way to add that little bit of "oomph!" you were looking for! Using a herringbone pattern creates more movement, guides the eye and makes the space feel more open and airy.
