What is herringbone formation?

Herringbone formation is a pattern in which rectangular or parallelogram-shaped tiles or planks are laid out in a zigzag pattern, resembling the bones of a herring fish. This pattern is created by laying the tiles or planks at a 45-degree angle to the walls or floor. The herringbone pattern can be used in a variety of contexts, including flooring, walls, and even backsplashes. It is a popular choice for adding texture and interest to a space and works particularly well in classic or traditional design schemes. When used in flooring, the herringbone pattern can also help to create the illusion of a larger space by drawing the eye diagonally across the room. Herringbone formation can be created using a variety of materials, including wood, tile, and brick.
