Chevrons and Herringbone: Directional Repetition

An Art Deco pattern composed of sharp angled lines. Continuous V-shapes or herringbone patterns are arranged repeatedly at regular intervals, with their points facing the same direction; it appears in wood floor patterns, carpet designs, cabinet door wood veneer inlays, or wall inlays. The lines are straight and sharp, with consistent angles. Alternating light and dark wood veneers or black and gold colors. Avoid: irregular angles and spacing, making the lines wavy and curved, using multiple herringbone directions simultaneously causing confusion, making the pattern scale too small resulting in fragmented textures.

一片以尖角折線構成的裝飾藝術圖案。連續的 V 形或人字形以規則的間距重複排列,尖端指向同一個方向;它出現在木地板的拼法、地毯的圖案、櫃門的木皮拼貼或牆面的鑲嵌上。線條是筆直銳利的,角度一致。深淺兩色的木皮或黑金兩色交替。避免:讓角度與間距不規則、把折線做成波浪與曲線、同時使用多個方向的人字造成混亂、讓圖案的尺度過小變成細碎的紋理。
