The application of herringbone and chevron patterns in wood floors began in the 16th century and became very popular in France and Europe. They create a timeless and stylish look that fits into almost any style of environment and became associated with architectural styles that epitomised luxury and elegance.
The appearance of the floor can be drastically changed by the size of the blocks – the actual individual pieces. Small size blocks tend to go better for traditional interiors, whereas larger size pieces create a modern appearance.
