Herringbone flooring is such a lovely and unobtrusive way to take your home to the next level of farmhouse chic. The regular pattern of wooden or brick tiles is comforting and adds depth to your already stunning rooms. Herringbone flooring can be used in any room, but you may wish to carefully consider the materials and how large you wish the tiles to be. In a room with a lot of furniture that is already teeming with life, you may want to select a larger wooden tile, so as not to feel crowded.
However, in rooms where you have plain, neutral walls, you can add intrigue with the herringbone flooring in a range of complementary colors, or by selecting smaller tiles to achieve a tighter look. Brick creates a more rustic look and works better in kitchens and mudrooms, whereas wood can look splendid in living rooms and bedrooms. Read on for more inspiring herringbone flooring ideas!
