Hard floor designs: which pattern suits you?

Hard floor coverings are available in many different patterns, which can add character and liveliness to your space. Whether they’re used with wood, laminate, PVC, LVT-PVC or vinyl, floor patterns can be a great addition to your interior. But which options exist and what are the differences?  

Straight pattern flooring 

Straight pattern flooring is the most common pattern in the laminate, PVC, and wood floor market. Recognizable through its long, wide strips, the Straight pattern floor is available in different widths ranging from 15cm to 35cm. In the last few years, wide planks have become increasingly popular for this pattern, making spaces appear longer and larger. While smaller plank widths have not been as in demand lately as their counterparts, they too were popular, like a two stroke or three stroke parquet, which is also currently not as common.  

Herringbone flooring 

Also, one of the most well-known floor patterns, second to the straight floor, Herringbone floors are a popular option. This pattern has its origins in wood. A classic contribution to any floor, it is also available in a double herringbone pattern. Herringbone flooring is also available in PVC options, which look increasingly identical to wood, with the only difference being PVC’s coloured plank edges. In recent years, this pattern has become extremely popular with PVC floors.  

Chevron flooring 

While chevron and Herringbone floors are often mistaken for one another, they have noticeable differences which change their overall effect on a space. Chevron flooring is a great eye-catching addition to any space. It can be recognised by its continuous v-shaped geometric pattern that is created through equal cuts of wood at an angle and fitting them together to create a point. While Herringbone similarly utilizes geometric patterns, the wood is not cut at an angle to create its shape. The Hungarian point is suitable for various interior styles, such as Scandinavian, industrial or peaceful japandi.

Tile patterned flooring  

Floor tile patterns are popular options for hard floors and are available in a multitude of materials. While the classic natural stone usually comes to mind when thinking of tile patterns, PVC, or Vinyl are all options which can give the classic stone tile look for a more affordable price. Additionally, these alternatives have the advantage of being water resistant and can thus be a great addition to a bathroom.  

Versailles flooring 

Versailles floors are known for their eye-catching appearance. The square laying pattern makes your space unique and distinctive. This pattern also often found in castles. Do you want to create the Versailles look in your interior? Then try to lay the strip floor in square blocks. This way you create a spacious and luxurious atmosphere, in your own environment.
