Falling for Floors: What’s the Deal with Herringbone Laminate

Let’s be real—flooring isn’t always the most exciting part of a renovation. But if you’ve ever stepped into a room with herringbone laminate floors, you know it can completely change the mood. It’s the kind of detail that gets people asking, “Where did you get these floors?”

So, what exactly is herringbone laminate, why is it such a showstopper, and where can you find the good stuff without breaking the bank? Spoiler alert: Ora Flooring and Stairs has you covered.

What Is Herringbone Laminate Flooring (and Why Are People Obsessed with It)?

You’ve probably seen the herringbone pattern before—it’s that classy zigzag layout that instantly makes a room look more refined. Traditionally used in hardwood, the herringbone look has made a huge comeback in laminate flooring, and for good reason.

Here’s the beauty of it: laminate flooring gives you that rich wood aesthetic with less cost, less maintenance, and more durability. Now, add a herringbone layout to the mix, and suddenly your floor is the centerpiece of the room.

It’s a vibe. Clean, bold, timeless—and surprisingly versatile. It fits in modern lofts, cozy condos, and even rustic farmhouses. And because laminate is scratch-resistant, moisture-tolerant, and easy to clean, it’s a win for homes with kids, pets, or lots of foot traffic.

Where Should You Buy Laminate Flooring?

Let’s cut to the chase. You don’t want to spend hours scrolling through random online stores or wandering giant warehouses with zero help. You want a flooring experience that feels just as smooth as the floor you’re shopping for. That’s where Ora Flooring and Stairs steps in.

What’s It Gonna Cost Me?

Let’s talk numbers—but keep it simple.

Laminate flooring typically runs between $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot, depending on the style. Herringbone styles are a bit more specialized, so they may lean toward the higher end.

Installation? Expect around $2.00 to $5.00 per square foot, depending on how complex the pattern is (spoiler: herringbone takes a little finesse).

Other costs like underlay, trims, and transitions might add another $1.00 to $2.00 per square foot. For a mid-sized room (say, 500 sq. ft.), you’re looking at a ballpark total of $2,500 to $5,500 all-in.

But here’s the good news—Ora Flooring and Stairs offers free installation on select purchases, so your cost could be way lower. And we always provide free quotes so you’re never left guessing.
