Herringbone Flooring

Herringbone flooring introduces a classic zigzag pattern that adds movement and sophistication to any interior. Its interlocking ‘V’ shapes create a timeless parquet design, ideal for feature areas, hallways and modern spaces.

Crafted in Europe for New Zealand Projects

Our herringbone boards are manufactured in Europe from sustainably sourced oak and finished to high standards for durability and stability. Each plank is precision-milled to ensure seamless alignment and crisp geometry, achieving the distinctive herringbone motif.

Vienna Woods offers herringbone patterns within selected collections, including Icons and Flamingo, with a range of tones and surface textures — from clean Scandinavian-inspired looks to richly textured character finishes.

Herringbone vs Chevron – What’s the Difference?

Herringbone and chevron flooring share a similar zigzag appearance, but each pattern creates a distinct visual effect. Understanding the difference helps you select the right look for your project.

  • Herringbone: Boards are rectangular and laid in an interlocking zigzag pattern. It creates a classic, textured look with more movement and variation.
  • Chevron: Boards are cut at an angle (usually 45°) to create clean, continuous V-shapes for a more contemporary and directional appearance.

If you’re unsure which suits your interior, our team can provide guidance or prepare a sample pack featuring both options.
