Herringbone Floors

Swedish apartments from the beginning of the last century often have herringbone parquet floors. I love the look of them, but am not sure whether a small Victorian terrace can the grandeur of them...Still however considering the option and would probably go for oiled/ waxed, which is soft to walk on, in a warm not to yellow stain. The London based Walking on Wood has a great selection and my current favorite in Militaire.
