replace the existing floor with traditional italian herringbone parquet in natural oak light to medium warm tone with subtle grain variation and a matte oiled finish create a classic italian perimeter composition a central field in italian herringbone a thin bindello strip around it an outer perimeter fascia along the edges of the room important the perimeter fascia must be made of wood boards laid perpendicular to the walls of the room this means the short side of each board faces the wall and the boards extend inward at 90 degrees from the room perimeter do not lay the fascia parallel to the walls the bindello should clearly separate the central herringbone field from the perimeter fascia keep the rest of the image unchanged preserve architecture furniture perspective and lighting apply only the floor material change with realistic scale and photorealistic mapping
