Mixing prints and patterns in home fashion is a great way to add charm to your interior. The chevron pattern dates back to 1800BC but can add such a modern feel to any space. Bold patterns like the chevron can be incorporated as small accents: scrapbook paper framed as artwork, a pop of pattern as a throw pillow or a bold area rug. An even more bold statement can be made by using the chevron as your hardwood floor plank pattern, your floor or wall tile design or an entire accent wall painted in dramatic chevron stripes.
