With its signature V shape perhaps denoting victory, it seems the French flair of the chevron pattern floor can be traced back to the French cavalry under its Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.

The distinguished chevron pattern floors gracing the living rooms at the Moor Apartments are a style consisting of alternating straight and diagonal stripes. 

The dramatic timber chevron pattern captures the high-end attention to style and detail which the French have long been revered for as one world’s most eminent fashion icons.

Moor’s project director Obaid Naqebullah says these ‘chevrons’ were the signature design element of Napoleon’s French military uniforms during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars from 1796 to 1815.

The striking chevron pattern pieces come with the short ends cut at a 45-degree angle which make a strong statement as the geometric design unfolds across the floor – highlighted by the rich woodgrain texture of the timber.

Moor’s living areas are beautifully fitted with that chevron pattern engineered flooring as it sweeps across the room with dramatic French flair. The look is luxurious and intricate, harnessing the gallant sentiment of its French military design origins.

Obaid Naqebullah notes that what’s most interesting about the chevron floor pattern at the Moor apartments is that the unique ‘V’ shaped arrow creates a sense of direction and movement – like the floor is drawing you up to a statement, a direction forward, with confidence and optimism.

Often fashioned in light golden Oak, the light timber colour softens the sharp angles, creating a classic aesthetic that is a pleasure to the eye.

Given its sophistication, dramatic design edge and storied French history, you can appreciate why so many modern French Provincial mansions in Melbourne have chosen the chevron style for their flooring. The Moor apartments share in that trend for elegant chevron design as the ‘piece de resistance’ across the length and breadth of your living space.

At Moor, Obaid Naqebullah believes the classic Chevron design serves as a symbol of luxury and sophistication. “With its French flair and significant history, the timber chevron pattern has withstood the test of time. It is experiencing a resurgence in contemporary interiors, as a creative way to create interest in our homes, even the smaller spaces of an apartment.”

That series of wooden panels converging at a single point form a continuous zigzag pattern, like the floor is carrying you forward, signposting the French flair of its association with Napoleon as a general and statesman. That’s certainly some powerful history unfolding across the foundations of your home.
