A Contemporary Version of Herringbone Flooring

A re-treated herringbone wood floor. The oak planks are laid in a 45-degree herringbone pattern, with the points facing the long axis of the room; but the color is not the deep honey tone of old apartments, but a neutral warm brown treated with smoking or white wax, with clear wood grain and color variation controlled within a small range; the surface is matte hard wax oil, non-reflective. The plank width is wider than traditional. Avoid: using high-chroma deep honey and reddish-brown, using glossy lacquer to make the floor reflective, allowing excessive color variation to appear messy, using composite flooring with printed wood grain.

一片重新處理過的魚骨拼木地板。木條是橡木,以四十五度交錯拼成人字形,尖端指向房間的長軸;但顏色不是老公寓的深蜜色,而是經過煙燻或白蠟處理的中性暖褐,木紋清楚、色差被控制在很小的範圍;表面是霧面的硬蠟油,不反光。板寬比傳統的更寬。避免:使用高彩度的深蜜色與紅褐、使用亮光漆讓地板反光、讓色差過大顯得雜亂、使用印刷木紋的複合地板。
