Parquetry That Elevates Every Room
Herringbone parquet flooring is one of the most iconic timber layouts, featuring boards laid in a broken zigzag pattern that draws the eye and adds rhythm to a room. It suits a wide range of styles—from classic and formal to minimalist and modern—depending on the selected colour, finish and grain.
Chevron is a similar pattern with mitred ends, forming clean, continuous lines that create a striking visual effect. For more traditional settings, we also offer Versailles panels and custom parquetry designs that reflect historical European craftsmanship.
Our parquetry is available in a variety of timber species and finishes, with engineered oak being the most popular due to its durability and aesthetic versatility. Whether you're aiming for soft natural tones or deeper, moodier hues, we help you achieve a look that complements the overall interior design.
Technical Precision and Design Freedom
Parquetry installation requires precision and experience. At Melo Flooring, we work with licensed installers who understand the technical requirements of patterned layouts. We provide detailed consultations to ensure the selected pattern works with the room’s proportions, layout and lighting.
Our custom parquetry can also be tailored in terms of plank size, thickness, grade and finish. Unlike many flooring providers who offer only limited stock options, we help you create a floor that’s truly unique to your space and design intent.
From boutique apartments to high-end commercial fitouts, herringbone and other parquet patterns offer a distinctive finish that stands out for all the right reasons.
