Four top tips on herringbone style.
Herringbone floors have been gracing homes since time began. Associated with large estates, school halls and grand rooms, it was often a style of floor that would be out of reach for most budgets.
With the modern evolution of cushion vinyls, it’s now possible to have this gorgeous style without the cost of upkeep, skilled installation or continued maintenance.
So how does this high-end style fit in with modern contemporary homes? It’s perfect for smaller spaces, and if laid correctly, the herringbone pattern can help draw the eye to create an illusion of airy space. This has proved a popular trick in smaller, modern homes that want to make the most of limited space. Another popular choice for this pattern within open-plan rooms where the pattern not only provides a uniform look throughout but visually opens up the space.
We take a closer look at four of our favourite styles from the Leoline range and how you can incorporate these in your own home.
