Herringbone is a parquet pattern made from rectangular blocks, laid so that the end of one block meets the side of the next at ninety degrees. The result is a staggered zigzag running across the room, each row stepping past the one before. The blocks are cut square at both ends, which is what separates herringbone from chevron. It is the older of the two patterns, found in country houses and civic buildings across Europe for centuries, and it has aged rather well. Herringbone or chevron?
