Parquet flooring: The choice for beauty

Few things add more beauty to home decor than parquet flooring, so what exactly is parquet? It is thin, decorative, hardwood flooring pieces that are placed in patterns then glued to squares of softwood backing, which are then laid on a subfloor.

This is something that will truly add a touch of elegance to any home, as well as increase the value. The natural checkerboard look of parquet is unparalleled as far as style goes. This is perfect if you’re looking for that “tiled” look but want the feel of natural wood.

While parquet is most often placed in that classic checkerboard design, it doesn’t have to be, you can get creative here and design your own flooring! I’ve seen diamond shapes intertwining with squares to make a lovely pattern. And you can mix your favorite attractive woods as well, perhaps you like oak and cherry, this is the perfect opportunity to combine the two and create a unique, gorgeous look in your home!
