Herringbone Wood Flooring: Direction Dictates the Room's Axis

A herringbone solid wood floor. The wooden strips are deep honey to warm brown oak, laid in a continuous chevron pattern at forty-five degrees, with the points facing the long axis of the room; the color of the wooden pieces varies in depth, and the surface has a low luster from waxing or oiling, with subtle scratches and wear from years of use. The color near the window is slightly lighter due to sun exposure. Avoid: using straight-laid ordinary wood flooring, using high-gloss varnish that makes the floor reflective, making the wood color completely uniform without color variation, using plastic flooring with printed wood grain.

一片魚骨拼的實木地板。木條是深蜜色到暖褐的橡木,以四十五度交錯拼成連續的人字形,尖端指向房間的長軸方向;木片的顏色深淺不一,表面是打蠟或油的低光澤,有多年使用的細微刮痕與磨損。靠近窗的地方顏色因為日曬而略淺。避免:使用直鋪的一般木地板、使用亮光漆讓地板反光、讓木色完全均勻沒有色差、使用印刷木紋的塑膠地板。
