Old oak herringbone floor: waxed only, not polished

An old oak herringbone floor. The wood blocks are laid in a herringbone pattern, the color is honey-toned, faded by time, with wear and fine cracks on the surface, only waxed, not polished. The direction of the floor pattern determines the room's axis, and furniture is arranged accordingly. Avoid: polishing the floor to be smooth and shiny, using dark and reddish wood, using patterns other than herringbone or chevron, covering the texture with wall-to-wall carpeting.

一片老橡木的魚骨拼地板。木塊以魚骨方向拼成,顏色是被時間曬淡的蜜色,表面有磨損與細縫,只上蠟不打磨;地板的拼向決定了房間的軸,家具跟著它擺。避免:把地板打磨到平整光亮、使用深色與紅調的木頭、改用魚骨與人字以外的拼法、滿鋪地毯遮住紋理。
