I've been spotting chevron prints all over the design world lately, and let me just say that I can't get enough. 

Chevron (aka Zig Zag or Herringbone)

You might recognize some non-decor related uses of chevrons:

Black gold, Texas tea

Military insignia indicating rank or length of service

I have long-loved stripes and other simple geometric prints.  Chevrons are like stripes doing a happy jig.  And I want to dance along.

Various chevron print items you can find at Etsy

The talented people who create things and sell them on Etsy have all kinds of chevron-inspired items listed, including pillows and curtains, bags, vases, cell phone covers, notecards and calling cards, and more.  I even spotted luggage handle covers with a chevron print.  Sweet!

Here are some other chevron-ny items I've found on the web:

I'm hooked on chevron (and that's not a rug pun).  What do you think about it?

Coming soon:  More chevron ideas and inspiration.  Y'all come back now, ya hear?
