What’s not to love about herringbone? This pattern is classic in every sense of the word and supplies an engaging visual interest with just a simple turn of pattern.
Herringbone was given its name because of the resemblance it has to the bones of a fish, such as a herring. It has always been a popular arrangement for parquet flooring, but people have gotten creative with it over the years. You can now find it often used as the pattern for kitchen backsplashes, fireplaces and even wallpaper.
One of the wonderful things about this pattern is how versatile it is. Though it does require a little more effort to lay tile or other materials in this pattern, the result is an accent that catches your eye and adds character. Enjoy these 10 spaces that used herringbone to great success.
