Herringbone flooring lays rectangular blocks in the classic interlocking zig-zag, one of the most requested looks in UK homes. Available in engineered oak, laminate and waterproof LVT, it brings pattern and craftsmanship to a room while staying practical for everyday life.
Engineered wood in natural oak finishes is the dominant choice across Nottingham’s family suburbs. Herringbone parquet is increasingly popular for hallways and living rooms, adding a design-led touch. Laminate and LVT serve the city’s large rental market, offering durability at accessible price points.
Choosing Herringbone flooring in Nottingham
It turns a plain floor into a design feature, flatters both period and contemporary interiors, and leads the eye down hallways and through open-plan spaces. The East Midlands has a moderate climate that suits all flooring types. Engineered wood is the safest choice for homes with underfloor heating, while solid oak performs well in well-heated period properties above ground level.
How Herringbone flooring suits Nottingham homes
Nottingham combines grand Victorian and Edwardian homes in areas like The Park and Mapperley with a vibrant modern scene around the Lace Market and city centre. West Bridgford remains one of the East Midlands’ most sought-after suburbs, where premium flooring is standard in the area’s larger family homes. For exactly these properties, herringbone flooring comes into its own in hallways, living rooms, kitchens and open-plan spaces.
Room by room in Nottingham
From the orders we deliver across Nottingham, this is where each floor tends to go:
Hallways: Herringbone parquet is the standout upgrade for Nottingham period homes. The pattern transforms entrance halls in The Park and Mapperley’s Victorian properties.
Living Rooms: Engineered oak in natural finishes is the bestseller across Nottingham’s family suburbs, particularly West Bridgford. Wide planks in warm tones suit the area’s larger Edwardian homes.
Kitchens: LVT vinyl offers the waterproof practicality Nottingham kitchens need, while porcelain tiles are increasingly popular for a more premium finish in open-plan layouts.
Student Rentals: Laminate is the most practical choice for student rental properties around the two universities. Hard-wearing, easy to fit and cost-effective for multiple rooms.
