FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ'S)

Is herringbone more expensive than traditional hardwood floors?

Herringbone and other patterned hardwood installations typically cost more than straight-laid floors. That’s because they require more precise cutting, layout planning, and skilled installation to align the angles and maintain pattern consistency. The material cost will also be slightly higher due to waste from pattern cuts. Still, many homeowners find the visual impact and long-term value well worth the investment.

What are the best wood species for chevron flooring?

Chevron looks stunning in both classic and contemporary spaces. Ideal choices include:

  • White Oak – durable with great grain definition

  • Hickory – strong and character-rich

  • Red Oak – traditional choice with beautiful warm tones

 

These species balance stability, appearance, and performance, making them perfect for patterned installations.

Can you refinish patterned hardwood floors like herringbone and chevron?

Yes — patterned hardwood can absolutely be refinished. However, edge detail and plank orientation require careful sanding to avoid rounding the pattern edges. A qualified flooring professional will tailor the refinishing approach to preserve the crisp pattern lines while refreshing the surface.

Design Considerations for Patterned Hardwood

When choosing herringbone or chevron, consider these elements to get the best visual impact:

Room Size

  • Small rooms: Diagonal or chevron layouts can make the space feel larger.

  • Large rooms and open areas: Wide-plank herringbone offers a grand, cohesive look.

 

Ceiling Height

Floor patterns with long, uninterrupted lines (like elongated chevron) can visually raise the ceiling.

 

Style & Aesthetic

  • Modern interiors: Lean toward subtle, straight edges and consistent species like White Oak.

  • Traditional spaces: Richer grain species such as Hickory or Character Red Oak add warmth and timeless appeal.

 

Furniture & Flow

Patterns are eye-catching — balance bold floors with neutral furnishings to prevent visual overload.

Best-Use Cases for Patterned Hardwood

Small Rooms

Herringbone and chevron can create a sense of depth and widen narrow spaces, making them perfect for powder rooms, offices, or cozy living areas.

 

Long Hallways

Pattern direction can lead the eye forward, enhancing the length and flow of corridors.

 

Open Concept Spaces

In large, open layouts, patterned floors act as a subtle divider between zones, adding architectural interest without cluttering the space.

Species Recommendations for Herringbone & Chevron

Here’s how some of the most popular hardwood species perform in patterned installations:

White Oak
