What's the difference between parquet and herringbone flooring?

Parquet is a broad term that refers to wood flooring arranged in decorative patterns, often using small blocks or strips. It includes several styles, like basket weave, chevron, and of course—herringbone.

Herringbone is actually a specific type of parquet pattern. It’s made by laying rectangular blocks in a zigzag formation, with each block meeting the next at a right angle. This creates a striking, timeless design that works beautifully in both classic and modern interiors.
