Strong patterns like herringbone have a wonderful way of making interiors feel special. Herringbone, not to be confused with chevron, is one of the most classic motifs. Its intricate design dates back to the Roman Empire, where the pattern could be found in brick streets and walls. Today, herringbone details are a thoughtful addition to one’s décor, feeling appropriate almost anywhere in the home. Here are 6 of our favorite places to incorporate herringbone’s lasting beauty.
