Buff works really nicely in this pattern because it catches the light differently across each angle. That’s part of what makes herringbone feel more interesting. It creates depth and movement even in simple colours
In real life, that means it lifts hallways and stairs without needing anything bold. It also helps disguise everyday wear, which is why it’s often used as a stair runner style.
It’s a good choice if you want something that feels warm and welcoming, but still practical enough for a busy home.
