Herringbone Parquet

Broken herringbone alternates zigzag planks. Fluid movement: the iconic flooring of Parisian apartments.

Broken herringbone in solid oak for authenticity, engineered wood for ease. Planks 50-70 cm in length. Laying direction: the point towards the light source.

Mistake: broken herringbone with planks that are too long (90 cm+) which loses the effect of movement. Shorter planks are more elegant.

Broken herringbone parquet adds character and movement to your floor. Its vintage look is perfect for classic or contemporary interiors. Moreover, its short zigzag planks help break the monotony of a long corridor or a large room.

The most popular species for broken herringbone parquet are oak and beech. Oak provides robustness and a beautiful patina over time. Beech, on the other hand, offers a lighter and brighter appearance. Choose the species that best matches your decor.

To maintain your broken herringbone parquet, regularly vacuum or sweep to remove dust and dirt. Then use a special parquet cleaner to clean and protect it. Avoid abrasive products that could damage the wood.

Broken herringbone parquet adapts to most rooms, from the living room to the bedroom to the dining room. However, it will be even more striking in medium to large spaces, where the movement effect will be fully showcased.

Broken herringbone parquet easily combines with different decoration styles, from classic to contemporary. For a minimalist look, opt for white walls and sleek furniture. For a cozier feel, add textiles and vintage accessories.
