Recently, I’ve been seriously digging some chevron patterns. I keep on seeing bold, chevron patterns popping up in catalogs and design glossies and they’re just begging me to jump on the chevron bandwagon. I recently added this ironing board cover to my “buy me this” list and I’m thinking that this little guy might just need to jump into my laundry closet. How great is this bold, yellow pattern?
And how about this fun chevron pillow? The stripes are nice and thick so the pattern isn’t too busy – a common complaint of my loveable chevron.
Even one of my favorite retailers has hopped on board with their own stab at a black and white chevron rug. Even though the black and white is such a strong contrast, I can’t help but love it. I’m thinking a rug and curtain combo in my future – I’m just living on the freaking edge, aren’t I?
There are even tutorials online to create your very own Chevron fabric (for upholstery, curtains, etc.)…
… or creating a chevron patterned top to your desk (or any other furniture piece – think sideboard or media cabinet!)
These bold patterns are popping up everywhere and making me itch for some zig zag pattern in my life. Any patterns or trends out there have you begging for more?
I had no idea this was called Chevron. Andy and I learned something new today! Is it weird that at first I thought you were going to talk about the gas station? Something like “they have nice bathrooms” or “they’re selection of junk food is delicious!” I’m so in the dark about all things design. . .
Random thought. . . have you gotten a pumpkin yet? Perhaps you could have a Chevron design on the back?? Oooooo, that could be fun!! Love the post :-)
I, too, am mad about chevrons. I’m hoping to incorporate them in the little one’s room. And, that ironing board might be too cute to pass up!
So am I! Love the ironing board cover. Let me know if you stumble upon any chevron-patterned 5×8 rugs in the $30-$70 price range :)
count me in! i love me some chevron. that ironing board cover is sweet!
i thought gas station too emily!
but i doooooo like it! the pattern that is…
I MUST have that ironing board cover. It is gorgeous!! And since I never seem to put my ironing board away it really should be covered in something gorgeous.
@emily: no pumpkin yet. I was going to have a friend make a Charlie stencil, but that fell through, so I think my pumpkin carving skills will be shelfed until next year. Although a chevron pumpkin could be fun….
@erin: the chevron ironing board cover is sold out and the seller isn’t planning on making anymore :( you’re pretty crafty – maybe you could make two and send one my way? :)
Love the ironing board color…chevron is great but I think it does weird things to my eyes like I’m suppose to stare at it and something pop out like those holograms.
Chevron makes my heart go pitter-patter too! There’s this zig zag pillow that’s been on my wish list FOREVER. I keep putting it in my virtual shopping cart…taking it out…throwing it back in…..removing it. I need an enabler, care to volunteer? =]
I am loving these patterns, Audrey!!!!! :) :)
