Originating from XVII century France, and often referred to as mosaic flooring, parquet flooring is highly recognized thanks to its decorative effect. It was the most popular option among the richest Frenchman. At one time, having a genuine parquet hardwood floor was a sign of opulent wealth because of the craftsmanship involved in creating unique and artistic geometric patterns on the floor. Parquet flooring differs from ordinary hardwood flooring as the pieces of wood used are much smaller and are arranged in decorative geometric patterns such as chevron and herringbone. You will see angular shapes such as squares, triangles, and lozenges featuring strongly in traditional parquet flooring. Common species used in parquet floors include oak, maple, walnut, cherry, and sometimes other exotic hardwoods like mahogany.
