Flooring Style Spotlight: Herringbone Vinyl Flooring
Posted on by Online Carpets
Why Herringbone Vinyl Flooring Is a Must for Your Home
Herringbone is a classic parquet flooring style, adored by homeowners for its classic, striking appearance. Commonly associated with luxury and high class, its distinctive and striking rectangular pattern resembles a Herring fish’s bone structure – hence ‘Herringbone’.
With this style increasing in popularity, more and more homeowners are looking to integrate Herringbone flooring into their home designs. But what many aren’t willing to do is meet the hefty price tag it demands. That’s where Herringbone vinyl flooring comes in.

What is Herringbone Vinyl Flooring?
| Herringbone vinyl flooring is an alternative to classic wooden herringbone flooring that imitates the beautiful look of the original at a fraction of the cost. Herringbone vinyl flooring has the iconic rectangular zig-zag arrangement with the added benefits of vinyl material. |  |
Benefits of Vinyl Herringbone Flooring
AestheticsThe main attraction of Herringbone flooring is the way it looks. Its stunning pattern never ceases to catch the eye. The complexity of its design serves as the perfect foundation to add neutral colours across the room. |
Easy to InstallVinyl herringbone flooring is easier to install than traditional flooring because it often features a peel-and-stick backing, or in the case of Herringbone click flooring, a click-lock system, removing the need for adhesive or mortar. Its flexibility makes cutting and fitting simpler, and it generates less mess compared to traditional methods. Check out our measuring and fitting guide here. |
Water ResistantWhile the feel of natural wood has a comforting, rustic feel, there’s always the danger of water damage. With vinyl Herringbone flooring being water resistant, there’s no need to worry about water damage, especially in areas that are susceptible to it. |
AffordableOne of the major pros of Herringbone vinyl flooring is its affordability compared to original Herringbone flooring. Fitting classic Herringbone flooring can cost anywhere between £40-£100 per m2. Our vinyl alternatives start as low as £7.99m2. |
DurableNot only does it look good, but it also lasts! Vinyl flooring is water resistant so you don’t have to worry about any water damage, and they’re easy to clean and maintain. |
VersatileTake your pick of colours and styles to personalise your space and tweak the room’s design to your liking.

How to Style Herringbone Vinyl Flooring in Different Rooms?
Living RoomA Herringbone pattern in a living room goes well with neutral furniture and walls, creating a stylish balance. If you're working with a smaller space, opt for light Herringbone flooring as it can make the room appear more open and spacious. Consider using Sintra 853 Vintage Herringbone Flooring for your living room, as it provides a clean base and allows you to flex your creative muscles for the rest of the room. |

KitchenBecause kitchens are water-prone areas, we recommend going for a water-resistant option. Our Turbo Vinyl Flooring is ideal for kitchens due to the wide range of styles and colours available. For example, the Mayfair 109 design (shown on the left) features a darker shaded grey Herringbone vinyl flooring that complements light furniture and walls perfectly. |
BedroomBedrooms are spaces where we want to feel at ease. Neutral colours like beiges and soft greys can help to create a soothing warmth that promotes relaxation. Our Vintage Herringbone Vinyl Flooring offers versatile stylistic options that we think would go perfect for any bedroom space. With 15 colours to pick from, you can easily achieve your desired ambience and style. |

BathroomBathrooms, just like kitchens, are prone to water damage. This is why traditional wooden Herringbone flooring is not recommended for bathrooms. Vinyl flooring, on the other hand, is completely resistant to water damage. This means you can have a Herringbone wood effect vinyl flooring design, such as our Patagonia 594 Ultimate Wood Vinyl Flooring, without any of the issues. Alternatively, we also recommend the tiled Herringbone look in a darker shade, like the Bilbao 598 Presto Tile Vinyl Flooring. This option allows for a striking contrast with white walls. |
Herringbone vinyl flooring is the perfect way to bring the classic Herringbone style into your home without breaking the bank. With its timeless look and handy durability, it’s a great fit for any room – from the living room to the bathroom. Plus, it’s super easy to install and maintain, making it ideal for busy households.
Whether you’re going for a classic or modern vibe, our range of colours and styles has something to suit your taste.
