There's something immediately arresting about herringbone floors, don't you think? A classic design, it goes well in both modern and traditional kitchens depending on the material used. Wood, tile, brick—we've seen it all, and it all works. What do you think?

I love these herringbone kitchen floors!
I think the wood herringbone looks the best. The brick is a little too busy for me!
I agree I definitely prefer the wooden herringbone. Absolutely gorgeous.
Never been a fan of the herringbone pattern. It disturbs my peace on some level. That does not, however, prevent me from enjoying in other people's spaces. The first pic above is abolutely lovely...but I still couldn't live with it.
