Parquet flooring consists of patterns of geometric blocks of wood. Most people are familiar with the classic herringbone pattern but there are other patterns such as parquet de Versailles which uses large diagonal squares. However there are some designs that are still in vogue and can create an elegant and classical look to your spaces. Du Chateau is one manufacturer that has a number of parquet products including traditional herringbone, chevron and Versaille, but also some exotic and unique patterns in their Palais collection.
