Prompt
A repeating herringbone parquet floor pattern rendered as a clean line drawing on plain white paper, parallel rectangular planks arranged in a V-shaped zigzag, each plank outlined with thin even black ink, the pattern tiling edge to edge, no shading, no color fill, no gradients, no wood grain texture, precise geometric repeat, generous white margin, no text, no letters
Negative prompt
shading, color fill, gradients, wood grain texture, 3d, photorealistic, text, words, watermark, signature, blurry

How to use this prompt
"V-shaped zigzag" is the phrase that produces the true herringbone repeat rather than a chevron or basket-weave variant, which SDXL conflates without the explicit zigzag direction. "Each plank outlined" is what keeps the planks as separate rectangles; without it SDXL merges the linework into a solid zigzag band. The negative prompt's "wood grain texture" and "3d" bans are the critical pair, because SDXL's default for any floor prompt is photorealistic grain with depth shading. "Pattern tiling edge to edge" tells the model the repeat continues beyond the frame, which is the repeat pattern convention. The 1:1 square suits a tileable surface.
Variations to try
- Redraw as a chevron parquet with planks meeting at a point rather than a V
- Add a border of single planks framing the herringbone field
