Chevron flooring cuts each block at an angle so the planks meet in a continuous, arrow-sharp V: a more contemporary, tailored take on parquet than herringbone. In engineered oak and premium LVT it creates a real sense of length and movement across a room.
Herringbone and chevron parquet are the dominant choice across London’s premium neighbourhoods. The classic zigzag pattern suits both Victorian terraces and modern loft conversions, creating a sense of movement and craftsmanship. In high-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens, London homeowners increasingly choose LVT vinyl for its waterproof practicality without sacrificing the natural wood look.
Choosing Chevron flooring in London
The clean directional lines feel modern and considered, making a floor look bespoke and drawing the whole space together. London’s mild but humid climate, combined with widespread underfloor heating in newer builds, makes engineered wood the safer structural choice over solid timber. The multi-layer construction handles seasonal moisture fluctuations without warping or cupping.
How Chevron flooring suits London homes
From Georgian townhouses in Islington to contemporary apartments in Canary Wharf, London properties demand flooring that matches their character. Period homes with high ceilings and ornate features call for wide-plank oak or herringbone parquet, while modern open-plan flats benefit from the clean lines of large-format porcelain tiles or engineered wood in lighter tones. Within that mix, chevron flooring earns its place above all in living rooms, hallways and open-plan spaces.
London homes, room by room
A quick tour through a typical London home:
Living Rooms: London living rooms favour wide-plank engineered oak in warm or natural tones, or herringbone parquet for a statement floor. In period homes, the pattern complements original cornicing and fireplaces beautifully.
Kitchens: LVT vinyl and porcelain tiles dominate London kitchens. Both are waterproof and suit the open-plan kitchen-diners found in many London flats and conversions.
Hallways: First impressions matter in London property. Herringbone parquet in the hallway is the single most popular upgrade across the city, creating an immediate sense of quality.
Bathrooms: Porcelain tiles in marble or stone effects are the standard for London bathrooms. For en-suites, LVT offers a warmer, softer alternative.
