Herringbone Flooring

Herringbone is a very popular pattern, and is found not only on flooring but on wallpaper, clothing, jewellery, and so on. It got its name from its resemblance to the pattern of bones of a herring, and is very similar to the chevron pattern. Many people ask what the difference is between herringbone and chevron. The answer is that herringbone consists of rectangles, while chevron boards are cut at an angle.
