The herringbone parquet floor remains popular – and for good reason. Its elegant point pattern combines classic craftsmanship with a modern aesthetic. But which styles and colors are currently seen most often?
In this inspiration blog, you’ll discover the most important herringbone parquet trends for living rooms and apartments.
Trend 1: Light, natural tones
Light oak and soft beige tones dominate interior design. These colors enhance the sense of space and fit perfectly into modern and Scandinavian homes.
In combination with underfloor heating, a PVC version is extra popular due to comfort and ease of maintenance.
Trend 2: Warm minimalism
Sleek furniture, calm colors, and natural materials. A herringbone parquet floor in warm natural or soft taupe reinforces this style without overpowering it.
The pattern provides subtle dynamism within a minimalist interior.
Trend 3: Dark accents with character
Dark herringbone parquet floors are making a comeback. Think smoked oak or deep brown tones. Combined with light walls, a powerful contrast is created that exudes luxury.
This trend is particularly effective in larger living rooms with ample daylight.
Herringbone parquet trends in the living room
In living rooms, we mainly see light and warm tones. The pattern is often combined with large rugs and soft fabrics to create balance.
Glued PVC variants are popular due to their sleek finish and optimal heat conduction with underfloor heating.

Herringbone parquet trends in apartments
In apartments, it’s all about balance and light. Light floors visually enlarge the space. Ease of maintenance also plays an important role here.
An easy-to-maintain PVC floor is therefore a popular choice.
Mix & match: combining with color
Herringbone parquet floors are increasingly combined with soft green tones, warm sand colors, and subtle earth tones. These combinations enhance the natural look.
Sustainability as a trend
In addition to color and style, sustainability plays an increasingly important role. Choose a floor with a strong wear layer suitable for long-term use.
