Aqua Deluxe Bourbon Oak Vinyl Herringbone Flooring
Aqua Deluxe Bourbon Oak is a rich, medium-to-dark brown oak vinyl herringbone flooring with warm, toasty undertones and a well-defined grain.
The colour sits noticeably deeper than the lighter options in the Aqua Deluxe range. It has the kind of brown oak appearance associated with seasoned, mature timber — not heavily aged or distressed, but with enough depth and grain contrast to give each plank a strong, grounded character.
Laid in a herringbone pattern, the 610 x 122mm planks create a floor with real visual weight. The deeper colouring and defined grain mean the herringbone arrangement stands out clearly, making this one of the more striking options in the Aqua Deluxe Vinyl Herringbone range.
It is fully waterproof, includes a built-in underlay and installs on a unilin click system.
Colour and Interior Design
Bourbon Oak introduces depth and contrast into a room. It works best in spaces where the floor is intended to be a defining feature rather than a neutral backdrop.
On walls, it pairs well with warm off-whites, stone, soft taupe and warm greige tones. These allow the floor to stand out without the room feeling heavy. Deeper wall colours — such as dark green, charcoal or navy — can also work well, creating a rich, layered interior where the brown floor anchors the scheme.
In kitchens, Bourbon Oak sits well beneath cabinetry in white, cream, sage green or dark navy. The contrast between pale cabinetry and a deeper floor is a well-established combination, and the brown oak tone works particularly well with black or brushed brass hardware.
In living rooms, furniture in dark leather, deep-toned velvet, natural linen or aged oak all complement the floor without competing with it. Lighter furniture in cream or natural linen provides contrast and prevents the room from feeling too dark.
Avoid pairing with very warm orange-toned wood furniture, as the similar tones can merge rather than complement. Cooler-toned or darker furniture tends to work better alongside Bourbon Oak.
The Herringbone Pattern
Each 610 x 122mm plank is laid at 45 degrees, with alternating planks running in opposite directions to create the V-shaped herringbone repeat.
On a deeper floor like Aqua Deluxe Bourbon Oak, the herringbone pattern has strong definition. The grain contrast between planks and the depth of the brown colouring mean the geometric arrangement is clearly visible across the floor surface.
In hallways, the combination of a rich brown tone and a herringbone layout creates a confident, considered entrance. In living rooms and dining rooms, the pattern adds structure and visual interest that a straight-plank herringbone LVT flooring layout would not achieve in the same way.
The 610 x 122mm plank size produces a well-proportioned pattern that works across different room sizes without the repeat feeling too small or too large.
Product Features
Each plank measures 610 x 122 x 5mm and includes a pre-attached built-in underlay. No separate underlay is needed before fitting.
The underlay adds cushioning underfoot and helps reduce impact noise between floors.
The waterproof construction makes Bourbon Oak suitable for kitchen flooring and any room where moisture resistance is required.
The embossed wood-effect surface reinforces the natural oak appearance and gives the plank face a textured, realistic finish.
Planks connect using a unilin click system — no adhesive required. The floor can be lifted and relaid if needed and is designed for domestic use throughout.
Routine maintenance requires regular sweeping or vacuuming to remove grit, followed by damp mopping with a suitable vinyl floor cleaner.
Room Suitability
Bourbon Oak suits rooms where a deeper, more characterful floor is wanted.
In living rooms and dining rooms, the rich brown tone adds definition and a sense of solidity. It works particularly well in rooms with high ceilings or generous proportions, where a lighter floor might feel lost.
In hallways, the depth of colour and the herringbone pattern combine to create a strong first impression. The waterproof construction handles wet footwear and heavy foot traffic without issue.
In bedrooms, Bourbon Oak suits interiors styled around darker, richer tones — deep-coloured walls, dark wood furniture and heavier textiles. It can also work in a lighter bedroom where the floor provides contrast against pale walls and furniture.
As a fully waterproof click vinyl herringbone flooring, it is a practical choice for kitchens where a darker, more dramatic floor is wanted.

Why Choose Aqua Deluxe Bourbon Oak?
Aqua Deluxe Bourbon Oak is the deepest, richest brown in the Aqua Deluxe Vinyl Herringbone range.
Where Alpine Linen is pale and cool and Aurora Blonde is warm beige, Bourbon Oak is defined by depth. The brown oak colouring gives the floor a grounded, substantial character that suits rooms where contrast and definition are the goal.
The herringbone pattern reads with particular clarity on this colour. The grain contrast and depth of tone mean the geometric arrangement is well defined, making Bourbon Oak one of the more visually striking options in the range.
For homeowners looking for a wood effect herringbone flooring that makes a clear statement — one that works with white kitchens, dark-toned living rooms and interiors that benefit from a strong floor — Aqua Deluxe Bourbon Oak is a distinctive choice.
