In my last post, I admitted that I'm all about the chevron prints these days, and I gave examples of chevron-related items you can buy.  This time I'm going to show how you can easily integrate chevron into a room without much long-term commitment -- via pillows, curtains, bedding and rugs.

Pillows

Even on a small budget, most people can afford to purchase a new pillow or two to bring new life to a room.  That is, unless you take Nicole Richie shopping for pillows with you.  (Story here.  Way to stand up for sanity, Joel!)

There are chevron pillows in all sorts of price ranges.  Don't forget that Etsy is a great resource!

Curtains

Curtains are another great way of tossing in some chevron print to a room without a lot of commitment.  Here are some snazzy examples.

  And if you want to go really bold ... BAM!

Bedding

From adult beds to cribs, chevron is popping up in the bedroom too.

Oh, and do you love Sarah Richardson and Tommy Smythe from Sarah's House on HGTV as much as I do?  They put together gorgeous, clean spaces on the show.  Here's a photo from Tommy's own (former) apartment.  I love the pop of red against the otherwise dark, masculine tones.

Rugs

Rugs can get expensive, especially depending on the size, but they can really pull together a room.

(Edit:  Since the original post, I learned that the blue and white "rug" above is actually Flor carpet tiles.  Nice!)

These last two rooms utilize the West Elm Zigzag Rug I showed you in the last post.
 

Above, I like the way they paired the graphic, modern rug, with the floral, traditional curtains.  By the way, the sofa reminded me of the Karlstad modular sofa at Ikea, which Sherry and John over at Young House Love have in their living room.

So ... I've shown you lots of inspiration on how to incorporate chevron into a room without a long-term commitment.  Next time, we'll go bold with some love-it-or-leave-it chevron prints on walls and floors.  Commitment-phobes, beware!
