Herringbone is a distinctive V-shaped pattern formed by laying rectangular tiles, bricks, or wood planks at 45-degree angles. Commonly used in flooring, textiles, and wall treatments, the pattern evokes movement and visual interest without overwhelming a space. It’s especially popular in hardwood floors, backsplashes, and fabrics due to its refined yet dynamic appearance. The technique dates back to Roman road construction and has evolved into a design staple in both traditional and contemporary settings. Proper alignment and consistent spacing are key to maintaining its geometric precision.
