The chevron floor and the herringbone floor differ in the installation pattern. With a herringbone floor, the floorboards are placed against each other at an angle of 90°. With a chevron floor, the floorboards are placed against each other at an angle of 45 or 60 degrees, creating sergeant stripes in the pattern.

Which installation pattern to choose: Chevron or Herringbone?

That depends on your interior wishes. With a herringbone floor, more happens on the floor than with a chevron floor. You can make a herringbone floor demand even more attention in a room if you apply a sloping edge (v-groove) to the floorboards, which emphasizes the lines of each individual floorboard and gives the whole a more classic herringbone floor appearance.

The chevron pattern is sleeker due to its symmetrical shape and generally fits better with a modern interior. Installing a wooden chevron floor is more labor intensive than a wooden herringbone floor, because each floor part must be processed to make the 45 or 60 degree angle possible. As a result, the costs of a chevron floor are often higher than a herringbone floor.

By playing with the width of the floorboards you can make the floor more expressive or calmer. Thin planks provide a classic effect, wide planks make the floor look calmer and more modern.
