What is a Herringbone Pattern?

The herringbone pattern is an arrangement of rectangles resembling the skeleton of a herring fish. This pattern is known for its arrangement of lines that intersect at oblique angles, forming a distinctive zigzag pattern. When using monochromatic pieces, the pattern may look uniform; however, its subtle elegance makes it a versatile accent in any luxury home design.
