The herringbone design is an arrangement of rectangles popularly used in floor tiling and wall decor. Herringbone is a symmetrical design and creates a staggered zig-zag pattern, similar to the bones of the herring. A herringbone wood panel wall enhances the home in a traditional, yet trendy way.
How to Enhance Your Home with Herringbone Wall Wood
Herringbone wood panel wall setup
To begin your home renovation project start by selecting different colored reclaimed wood. A color gradient of light, medium, and dark gives the design a more traditiona
l look, or you can opt to acquire one shade of wood and paint it later. Measure the space where you will lay out your herringbone wood wall pattern to ensure you have enough wood.
Be sure to know the measurements of your wall and your wood panels before you proceed with the project.
Laying out your herringbone wood paneling
The herringbone wall wood art needs to be laid-out, so one plank adjoins to the side of the other. The pattern repeats up and down the wall in a staggered design called a broken zig-zag. Herringbone angles are almost always 90% since one edge is placed against another.
To help envision the design, tape up your wall before sticking the wood panels to the wall.
Measure your wall and draw the design
The most straightforward way to approach the initial design of the pattern is to tape off your wall and draw the pattern. Start by taping off columns as the base of your design to represent symmetry. Even divide the wall as you see fit based on the length of your wood panels.
Next, use your wood panels to measure the ideal angle of your herringbone design. You might need to adjust the measurement of your columns if you want a more angular look. Once you decide on the format of your angle, use your wood panel to draw or tape off the design to serve as a guide.
