House of Smiths DIY Chevron RugIf you read home blogs at all, you will not be able to avoid the very popular trend of using chevron in decorating. What is chevron, you ask? Chevron is a zig-zag line pattern, sort of like a simplified herringbone. It is absolutely popping up everywhere- from curtains to rugs, to desktops and backspashes! It’s a very bold choice and makes a big statement in design.

Notice the chevron pattern in the backsplash?

Even my absolute favorite home decor store, Pottery Barn, has jumped on the chevron bandwagon!
I, for one (and I may be the ONLY one), am not a fan of chevron. {Gulp} I confess that you will not find many geometric, modern patterns in my home. Mostly you’ll see paisley or stripes- a little bit more classic in my humble opinion. But if you are digging the chevron, there is no shortage of DIY projects out there in blogland!
What’s your opinion?
Are you a Chevron Lover or Hater like me?
I enjoy reading your blog. I will say that the ‘chevron’ is NOT my style *but* I still think it’s beautiful and sharp:)
Hate it, but I’m old.

It wouldn’t really go with my type of decor, a little too ‘modern’ for me. I say modern but then it also reminds me of the 80s for some reason, especially in the kitchen! definitely not something that I would make a permanent part of my house.
oops, that post was from Lori – I was logged in as Dave 🙂 don’t worry he’s not following home decor blogs! at least not that I know of.
