At Invercargill and Winton Flooring Xtra, we’ve seen a strong resurgence in patterned flooring – and for good reason. When thoughtfully installed, styles like herringbone, chevron and parquet can elevate any interior, blending timeless charm with contemporary sophistication. While these designs do require more time and precision during installation, the results are nothing short of spectacular.
Herringbone – Timeless & Elegant
Herringbone timber look flooring has long been a go-to for adding texture and visual interest without overwhelming a space. The design features rectangular planks laid in a broken zigzag pattern, offering a sense of movement and depth. It’s especially effective in living areas or bedrooms where you want to create a sophisticated look with natural wood tones as well as making a room feel larger.
Chevron – Clean Lines & Direction
Chevron patterns share herringbone’s charm but offer a more directional and streamlined finish. The planks are cut at precise angles to form a continuous “V” shape, which draws the eye through a room. It’s a smart choice for entranceways and hallways—anywhere you want to add that sense of length and visual rhythm. This style works beautifully in timber, sheet vinyl and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) options.
Parquet – Intricate & Customisable
For something truly unique, parquet flooring provides endless creative possibilities. Using smaller blocks of wood arranged in striking geometric patterns – such as basketweave or brickwork – it adds personality and character to both classic and modern interiors. Parquet is available across various product ranges, including sheet vinyl, timber and luxury vinyl tiles giving you design flexibility to suit your lifestyle and budget.
What You Need to Know About Installation
Because these patterns involve careful alignment and precise cutting, installation is more time-intensive than standard plank flooring. But that’s where our team comes in. With years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of subfloor preparation and finishing details, we take pride in getting every element just right – delivering a result that’s both durable and visually striking.
