The Edwardian era was a time of amity and abundance, a politicised period where Britain led the world in trade, finance, manufacturing and mining. London was a financial powerhouse, and the privileged enjoyed their abundant wealth through art, music and architecture. Moreover it was a time where the elite enjoyed a heightened sense of leisure and pleasure over the rigors of responsibility and entrepreneurship; new fashions hit the markets and the re-introduction of many architectural trends underwent renewed recognition. Among these, intricate parquet flooring experienced resurgence in popularity—this geometric mosaic of decorative wood pieces was invented in Versailles in 1693 as a convenient and hardwearing surface to replace the maintenance-intensive polished marble. These days parquetry flooring is seen as a chic and elegant material that creates a sense of opulence and luxury in many new and heritage style homes.

Consider this hard-wearing and relatively easy-care floor in your new or renovated space and check out the following examples for some seriously stylish, effortlessly sophisticated domestic spaces.

Multi-coloured chevron

Are you looking for something that evokes individuality and an air of artistry? Take a gander at this amazing chevron patterned parquet floor.

Coordinate this style of parquetry floor with vintage minimal furniture, eclectic pieces of objet d’art and crisp white walls.

Eclectic herringbone

Industrial eclecticism at its best, this is a stirring example of how flooring can impact a room and transform it from something mundane or monotonous into a space full of creativity and excitement. Pair this style of herringbone flooring with rustic reclaimed or repurposed furniture, modern art, deco light fittings and bright white walls for a space that screams spirit.

Traditional herringbone

With numerous examples showing ‘outside the box’ parquet flooring design, we can’t forget to remember that traditional and heritage style is extremely effective and chic in its own right. This sophisticated kitchen is a perfect example of the combination of time-honoured herringbone parquet floor paired with a contemporary designed kitchen.
