So, to help you make an informed decision, we’ve shared below the top 5 benefits of parquet flooring. But first, let’s review the most popular parquet flooring patterns.

Top Parquet Flooring Patterns

Parquet flooring refers to wooden floors designed using wooden blocks that have been positioned to form a geometric pattern. There are different ways to arrange these blocks. And this, in turn, offers many different pattern options for homeowners looking to enhance their homes with gorgeous flooring.

So, to help you pick the best type of parquet flooring for your home, here are four of the most popular parquet flooring patterns.

Herringbone Flooring

Herringbone flooring has rectangular wood strips laid in alternating directions. More specifically, with Herringbone flooring, the wooden blocks are arranged to form a zig-zag pattern. The wooden pieces are laid to push against each other, meaning they are less likely to expand or move. Note that creating this pattern is time intensive and requires specific skills.

The pattern was first used during the Roman Empire to pave roads, as it helped improve their stability. But it became extremely popular as a flooring option during the 17th century when French cabinet makers started using it.

And the timeless design of Herringbone flooring still makes it one of the most popular options these days. Whether you’re looking for a traditional and heritage look or want to make a statement with sophisticated floors, Herringbone parquet flooring won’t disappoint.
