chevron: over it or still in love?
The chevron pattern is all over the place … and has been for a while.
We’ve seen it on walls:

floors:
on curtains:

pillows:

and all sorts of odds and ends:

I, for one, am still a fan.
We just added this zig zag rug to our living room and I think it gives the space a playful touch.
The rug is from Urban Outfitters and is quite inexpensive. I wish it was just a bit larger, but it will do.
So how about you … are you over chevron or still loving it?

Not tired of chevron is small doses yet but I do think Ikat is the new chevron.
Melanie
STILL LOVE IT!!!!!
Heather
not over it at all. great rug purchase!
Jenninelupo
Still like it but I don’t have any… Hope it doesn’t go out of style before I get some!

The rug looks great in your living room! If you’re concerned about size and still want to save money, why not buy 1 more and place them side by side the other direction? You get a big rug for cheap!

i like chevrons with soft , muted , watery lines. i’m kinda over crisp chevrons. your home is beautiful and the the rug looks great. all kinds of love for your blog.
Lauren
I was hoping you said “yes” it’s still in! I just got a navy blue & white chevron rug for my dining room! I love it and yours looks amazing!
Amanda M.
I love it. And hope it’s not out too soon because i have a bunch of cute printables I want to use with the chevron print!
Kelly
I still like it! I am conservative with it like any other trend but I bought that same rug!

Did you see the cat sleeping on the green and white Chevron floor in the 2nd picture? Well, I kinda agree with Kitty. YAWN. I’m a little tired of all the zigging and zagging. Don’t get me wrong, I like a little zig and zag, but the operative word here is a “little.”
Michelle Marsh
I love it….I never knew what an impact a little chevron can make in a room! So, although many are either sick of or just don’t like it, I still am enjoying it — along with sunburst mirrors too!
molly
still in love. sigh. =)

Adore your blog, found you only 2 days ago but you got me hooked already. THANKS!!!! Chevron, hm, like everything else, its a question of personal taste – others dont have to like it, as long as you do!! Your newfound grey rug looks nice under your living room table. Can you not buy one more and stitch them together?? Cant wait to see your surprises tomorrow.
Beth
I look at it this way a trend introduces you to something that you .
Sarah B Design
I still really like the Chevron pattern, but I agree that it is everywhere. Thats why i like it in moderation. Love that rug from Urban! I migth need to get one for myself
Kelly Rand
Emily… you MUST tell me. I bought the same Urban rug for my nursery but I can’t figure out how to make it lay flat all the time?!?! Mine bunches even with a regular rug pad underneath. Do you have something special to keep it from bunching up? I’m all ears!!!!

I’m still loving the chevron! I really love the rug you added to the living room. It really adds a fun touch! That’s a great deal on Urban Outfitters rugs – thanks for sharing!
andrea
Still love it! Even though it’s trendy, I think it’s a classic, sharp pattern!
lisa g
I love it too! I am redoing our master bedroom and I got some awesome turquoise and white chevron pillows from Target that I am throwing on the bed. I like it in small doses since it makes a big impact. I’m thinking a cute bath mat to bring it into our master bath might be in order too!
I LOVE that Urban Outfitters rug and I so want the turquoise one for my kids playroom!!!
Susan
I really like it. The green and white tile is pretty but to much of a commitment for me. I would use that gray and white rug. Love it!
Susan Sykes
Oh I am SO in love with Chevron Patterns still. Recovering a chair and some throw pillows right now! I just hope there is enough fabric left over for me to use some in my own home!
Christy
Still love it! In small doses, though…like your rug – fabulous! Great pop of fun for a room…I think it’s a pattern that will be around for quite a while…just as long as it’s not overplayed in a room! Great post!
Alecia Shannon
Still loving it! I’m crazy about this rug from West Elm

Katy
Definitely still love!!! Love it so much I made a {sort of} chevron design quilt for my 2-1/2 year old when he moved to his big boy bed!
Vanessa
I still totally love it. It is a classic pattern that, if used with the right colors, will never die. It’s like herringbone or hounds-tooth. I am over the fact that EVERYONE loves it, though. I’m hoping the fad passes and my chevrons live on timelessly. I know — selfish.
devon lang
I still love it. Unfortunately I dont have anything in my home with it except for notecards. I did see a picture on Pinterest of a brick fireplace painted black and white chevron and I loved it.
Marlous
How about these H&M towels for a bit of chevron in the bathroom?

Seriously Sassy Mama
I will always love it. It is like a good simple stripe.
kelly
Do you know what size the chevron rug is in the picture? The one from Urban Outfitters? 5×7 or 8×10? thank you!
Laura
Love it still!
Laura
Kelly R.,
Have you tried double-sided carpet tape?
Lois
I absolutely love it! I don’t think I could ever get sick of it!
Ashley Julian
LOVE IT! I think that pattern is a classic, no?
Jenn K.
Still love it! … and variations of it!
Sandy
I like the look of it but I don’t have any in my own house because you see it everywhere and it has been so over done. I don’t want my house to look like everyone else. I am rather fond of some herringbone myself which is a variation of the chevron I suppose.
Vreeland Road
Stiil love it and contemplating painting my desk top chevron. I feel like it will join the ranks of a classic print along w herringbone, ticking, etc.
Sarah
Still love it! I just started creating & selling personalized iPhone cases in my etsy shop with the chevron pattern, and customers are still LOVING it too! The question is, which color do we all still love? Gray & white, yellow & white, aqua & white??? Questions, questions. I’m also in love with bold beach stripes, ikat and quatrefoil!
Angela
Still all over it! I think it’s gonna stick for a while.
Maggie
I love chevron! I want to do so much with it but Im afraid I may not be able to hold myself back and my home will be chevron crazy! Great job! Love your blog! Visit mine at borntobeblonde.com

I looove the chevrons still!
