When it comes to creating a kitchen that exudes both elegance and functionality, flooring is one of the most important design decisions you’ll make. At Imperial Flooring Australia, our herringbone oak parquetry has become a timeless choice for homeowners and designers who want to elevate their kitchen spaces with character, texture, and sophistication.

Why Herringbone Flooring?
The herringbone pattern has been a design staple for centuries, seen in European estates, luxury apartments, and now, contemporary Australian homes. Unlike standard straight-laid flooring, herringbone adds depth, movement, and an undeniable touch of artistry. In kitchens, where cabinetry and benchtops often dominate the visual field, herringbone provides a subtle yet striking foundation that ties the entire space together.
Pairing Herringbone with Kitchen Designs
Modern Minimalist Kitchens Sleek cabinetry, clean lines, and neutral palettes are perfectly balanced by the texture of herringbone oak. Light-toned oaks, like our Cream White or Blonde Oak, keep the space airy while adding warmth beneath modern finishes like matte black tapware or marble benchtops.
Classic Luxury Kitchens Think shaker cabinetry, stone benchtops, and statement lighting. Mid to darker oaks, such as Tinge Oak or Raw Oak, create a rich backdrop that complements timeless detailing. The herringbone pattern enhances the sense of craftsmanship in these kitchens, making the space feel enduring and high-end.
Coastal and Contemporary Kitchens For those chasing the Australian coastal lifestyle, light and sun-kissed tones pair beautifully with herringbone. Open-plan layouts benefit from how the pattern flows seamlessly from kitchen to living spaces, creating a connected and stylish atmosphere.
The Imperial Flooring Advantage
One of the unique benefits of our engineered oak herringbone is that it can be installed directly on top of our standard oak flooring range. This allows for a seamless detail finish, perfect for creating feature areas such as a kitchen or entryway while maintaining continuity with adjoining spaces. The result is a bespoke, designer look without disruptive transitions — an architectural detail that elevates the entire home.
In addition, with engineered oak herringbone you’ll enjoy the practicality of a durable and stable floor, perfectly suited to high-traffic areas like kitchens. Easy to clean, long-lasting, and visually stunning, it’s a choice that blends performance with artistry.
