Herringbone or wide plank: Which floor suits you best?
When you are shopping for a new floor, you’ll quickly realize just how many options there are. It’s not just about the material and color, the laying pattern also has a big influence on the overall look and feel of your interior.
One of the questions we get asked most often: should you go for a classic herringbone pattern or opt for a wide XL plank? In this blog, we’ll break down the differences to help you decide.
Classic with a modern twist
Herringbone floors have a distinctive character. The angled placement of the planks creates a pattern that immediately draws attention. It gives a space a classic and elegant look, but with a modern twist. Especially in combination with a subtle wood tone, a herringbone floor creates a timeless effect that fits almost any interior.
Herringbone is often chosen for living rooms or hallways, where it really comes into its own. We offer this flooring in various sizes, such as standard herringbone and herringbone XL, so you can choose the option that best suits your space.
A calm foundation
The XL plank, on the other hand, creates a calm foundation. Because the planks are longer and wider, a space automatically feels larger. This style works well in modern interiors, but also in rustic or Scandinavian settings. The wide plank introduces less visual movement than herringbone, making it ideal for open spaces such as kitchens or living rooms.
Like the herringbone floor, this LVT is available in various colors and always features a textured wood finish.
What kind of atmosphere do you want to create?
Whatever you choose, all Hebeta LVT floors are suitable for underfloor heating and cooling, easy to maintain, and sound-absorbing. The difference really comes down to the atmosphere you want to create. Want something more striking? Herringbone is a great choice. Prefer calm and spaciousness? Then a long plank is probably a better fit for you.
