Herringbone Flooring Liverpool

Princess Flooring supplies and fits herringbone flooring across Liverpool and Merseyside — the classic V-pattern that has become the most-requested floor of 2026. From affordable herringbone laminate to fully waterproof LVT and premium engineered wood, our Lodge Lane showroom carries the styles, tones and scales to suit any room. Every floor is set out and laid by our own experienced fitters, with free home measuring and a no-obligation quote on every job.

Herringbone Laminate, LVT and Engineered Wood

There are three main ways to get the herringbone look, and we supply and fit all of them. Herringbone laminate is the most popular and affordable option for Liverpool homes — hard-wearing, realistic, and ideal for living rooms, bedrooms and hallways. Herringbone LVT (luxury vinyl tile) is fully waterproof and softer underfoot, which makes it the right choice for kitchens, bathrooms and homes with pets or young children. Engineered wood herringbone has a genuine hardwood top layer for a premium, natural finish in showpiece rooms. Whichever you choose, we help you weigh the look, durability and budget so you end up with the floor that suits how you actually live.

Why Choose Herringbone Flooring?

Herringbone instantly makes a room feel more designed. Where standard plank flooring reads as basic, the V-pattern looks intentional, architectural and premium — and it flatters both period and modern interiors equally well. It suits a Victorian terrace in Aigburth just as naturally as a contemporary apartment in the Baltic Triangle. Modern manufacturing means it is now available at every price point, so the look that once meant expensive solid parquet is within reach for most budgets. It is also a floor that adds character and kerb appeal, which is why so many Liverpool homeowners are choosing it for hallways, living rooms and open-plan spaces.

Expert Herringbone Fitting in Liverpool

Herringbone is only as good as the fitting. Because each plank is half the size of a standard plank and every joint has to meet at a perfect ninety-degree angle, it takes considerably more time and skill to lay than a standard floor. The room has to be set out from a precise centre line so the pattern looks balanced from every doorway, and the perimeter often needs a neatly cut border to frame the field. Get any of this wrong and it shows the moment you walk in. Our in-house fitters have years of experience laying herringbone across Merseyside — we prepare the subfloor properly, set out the pattern carefully, and finish every edge, doorway and threshold to a high standard.

Choosing Your Herringbone: Scale, Colour and Layout

The look you get depends on three choices. Scale comes first: smaller blocks give a busy, traditional parquet feel that suits hallways and period rooms, while larger planks create a calmer, contemporary zigzag for open-plan spaces. Colour changes the mood completely — natural and light oak keeps a room bright and timeless, grey suits modern and Scandi interiors, and smoked or dark walnut adds drama in formal rooms. Finally, the laying direction can lead the eye down a hallway or towards a window to make a space feel longer. Bring your room measurements to our Lodge Lane showroom and we will lay out samples at different scales and tones so you can see the difference before you decide.

Herringbone Flooring for Every Room

Herringbone works across the whole home, as long as the material matches the room. Hallways are the classic showcase, where the pattern draws the eye and makes an entrance feel grand — choose hard-wearing laminate or engineered wood for the foot traffic. Living rooms gain warmth and architectural interest from herringbone in oak or smoked tones. In kitchens and open-plan diners, waterproof herringbone LVT gives the same look while shrugging off spills and steam. Bedrooms suit softer, warmer tones for a restful feel. Running the same herringbone across a full ground floor creates a seamless, high-end flow that makes the whole space feel larger.

Photos never tell the full story with herringbone — scale, sheen and tone all look different in your own light, so the best way to choose is to see and handle samples in person. Our Lodge Lane showroom carries herringbone in laminate, LVT and engineered wood across a full range of oak, grey, smoked and natural tones, and our team will help you match the right scale and colour to your rooms. We offer free home measuring across Liverpool and Merseyside, so we can measure up, talk through ideas in your actual space, and give you an honest, no-obligation quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is herringbone flooring more expensive than standard plank flooring?
Herringbone costs a little more than standard plank flooring in the same product, mainly because it takes longer to fit — each plank is smaller and every joint has to align precisely. That said, herringbone laminate remains an affordable way into the look, and we keep our pricing honest with everything included in a written quote.
Can herringbone be fitted in a kitchen or bathroom?
Yes, as long as you choose the right material. Herringbone LVT is fully waterproof and ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms. Standard herringbone laminate is only water-resistant, so we do not recommend it for wet areas — we will steer you to the right product for each room.
What is the difference between herringbone and chevron?
Both create a V-pattern, but the planks are cut differently. Herringbone uses rectangular planks laid at a ninety-degree angle so the ends meet the sides. Chevron uses planks cut at an angle so the ends meet point to point, forming a continuous zigzag. Herringbone is the more traditional and versatile of the two.
Do you supply herringbone laminate as well as real wood?
Yes. We supply and fit herringbone in laminate, luxury vinyl tile (LVT), and engineered wood, as well as traditional solid parquet for heritage projects. We will help you choose based on the room, the look you want, and your budget.
How long does it take to fit herringbone flooring?
Herringbone takes longer to lay than standard plank flooring because of the smaller planks and the careful setting-out required. The exact time depends on the room size and any border work, but we will give you a realistic timescale with your quote so you know what to expect.
Do you offer free measuring for herringbone flooring?
Yes. We offer a free home measuring service across Liverpool and Merseyside. We visit your home, measure accurately, bring samples so you can see the herringbone in your own light, and provide a no-obligation quote with no hidden extras.
