10 herringbone wood floor design ideas for your home

Looking for inspiration for a herringbone wood floor design for your home? Then you’ve come to the right place.

As a local wood store, we are obviously huge fans of wood flooring. However, when wood planks are strategically placed into a pattern, it takes things to that next level. This is especially true when you leverage wood planks in a multi-colored or perfectly symmetrical herringbone pattern.

To drive this point, we’ve laid out 10 of our absolute favorite herringbone wood floor designs. Take a look and don’t forget to save your favorite idea for later.

Herringbone wood floor design & straight planks

It’s not for everyone — but we love the combination of the herringbone pattern with the traditional straight wood planks. It’s an interesting way to break up one space from another.

Herringbone pathway

How stunning, yet simple is this idea? Just because you’re shooting for a herringbone wood floor design doesn’t mean you can use it in particular spaces in particular ways.

Herringbone tile to herringbone wood

We love a unique tile to wood transition — especially when the color transition is so drastic, yet the herringbone pattern is maintained throughout.

Multi-toned herringbone wood floor design

When you’re shooting for a herringbone pattern, multiple tones and colors can amplify your design. This look proves it.

White & black herringbone pattern

Don’t be afraid to think outside the herringbone box. Dark and light colors mixed together can look incredible when paired correctly.

Perfectly placed tones

When placing your herringbone wood floor design, feel free to pick and choose color placement. In this case, lines of light and lines of dark break up this herringbone pattern perfectly.

Dark herringbone floors

There’s nothing particularly special about this herringbone pattern, but it still looks incredible, doesn’t it? A dark color in a herringbone pattern placed inside a large open space is always a great option.

Intentional gaps

Many homeowners would gawk at large gaps in their wood flooring, but when it comes to specific patterns, gaps can help you make a bigger statement.

Perfectly symmetrical herringbone pattern

There’s something oddly mesmerizing about a perfectly symmetrically wood floor pattern — especially when applied to a herringbone design.

Less isn’t always more

Even though we love large, long wood planks, we can definitely appreciate a herringbone wood floor design with thin, short wood planks.
