FLOORING IDEAS

Timber flooring doesn’t have to be limited to the popular straight pattern flooring. Timber is a versatile product that allows the designer to play with its sizes, shapes and styles. The number of possibilities is only limited by one’s imagination. Not only will your pattern of choice shape the look of your floor, it will also impact furniture placement, and the general flow of your space. Here are some ideas of some popular hardwood floor patterns:

Diagonal Pattern

This pattern will add another touch to your space without drifting away from a traditional straight installation of a hardwood floor. Flooring boards are installed parallel to each other but laid at a 45-degree angle to the walls.

Basket Square

It's a wood pattern with high flexibility. Most wood types can be used to create this pattern, in either single or dual colours, which enables you to get a stunning result. Basket square pattern can be used both in larger and smaller interiors and can be fitted diagonally or parallel to the walls of the given room, making it look great.

Herringbone

A very popular wood flooring pattern in European countries. It's perfect for larger interiors. If you plan it the right way, this flooring option can help you make tiny rooms look nicer, adding some sophistication. When installing a floor in herringbone or chevron pattern, you need to lay the rectangular strips in V-shapes.

Chevron

The difference between herringbone and chevron is mostly in the zigzag, where chevron patterns have a continuous zigzag design whereas the Herringbone pattern has a broken zigzag design. Moreover, the chevron strips are cut against a certain angle, whereas the herringbone strips are rectangular.
