It's no secret I love a good herringbone pattern. But it's ubiquitous use- mostly in textiles- has me searching for some fresh and more classic ways to incorporate this design into our home. We are laying out plans for a new backyard project that will make new use of this beloved pattern and in doing research for that project, I happened to stumble across another amazing way herringbone is zig zagging it's way into design.
Behold. Wood tiles laid out in a herringbone pattern.

This last one is a triple threat. It's got herringbone walls in wood tiles, that fantastic floor with pink accents and the front of the bar also uses mirrored tiles for a third herringbone effect.
The result: happy herringbone heaven.
I love love love herringbone! Have plants to change out the current dark drab square backsplash for white subway tile in a herringbone pattern. I'm hopeful it will bring some dimension, texture, and modernity to a more traditional kitchen finish. Can't wait to see what you do with it at Holtwood!
