/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors installs straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet patterns across Salem, with borders and inlays priced at the house. Historic homes often go herringbone, and newer condos take chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run with the longest wall, which is the fastest and least wasteful layout. A narrow Salem hallway looks longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards turned ninety degrees into a zigzag, cut and fit one at a time. Right at home in a formal dining room in an old Salem house.
Chevron Hardwood
Every board is mitered at forty-five degrees so the rows close into a V. It flatters an open kitchen in a renovated unit.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks laid on the diagonal draw the eye across the room, and that makes a small kitchen seem wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain, parquet style. A traditional touch for a sunroom with a view toward Salem Willows Park.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak lengths woven over and under, usually with a dark border. A classic in the older homes near the House Of Seven Gables.
