Sometimes what is meant to be a neutral backdrop can make a statement and set the tone in the room: an accent wall, a bold ceiling or chic floors. Chevron floors are classic that will elevate the interior design of your home. If you want to see how these floors become a game changer in every room where they are applied, take a look at some ideas below.
What Are Chevron Floors?

Where Does Chevron Pattern Come From?
Just like the herringbone pattern, the chevron pattern goes back centuries and it is considered one of the oldest symbols in human history. The earliest examples of the chevron pattern appear on pottery and petrographs (rock art) dating from ancient times. The chevron pattern also appears in early examples of heraldry, like a coat of arms. Especially in Normandy and Scandinavia, it was often used. In Western Europe, it is also used as an insignia of the ranks in the military.

What’s The Difference Between Herringbone And Chevron Patterns?
The chevron pattern is laid out in a V-shape. Depending on your own preferences, you can cut the planks as sharp as you want, creating a different angle. This way you can create a subtle V-shape or a sharp V-shape. Due to the way you lay out the chevron planks, you can see a clear straight line that runs the entire length of the floor.
The herringbone pattern has rectangular boards that are always laid out at a 90° angle to each other. The floor is laid from the center of the room working its way to the sides.
A chevron floor pattern creates a calmer look and creates perhaps a more modern look in your interior compared to a herringbone floor which is a bit busier. Chevron wood flooring is a classic and interesting floor pattern that looks a bit calmer than a herringbone floor while still adding warmth to the space. With a herringbone floor, you can create a more dynamic floor style by using planks with different wood stains.
