Is chevron so in it's out? Nope, not yet. The chevron pattern is the skinny jeans of the design world; it had it's early adopters and is now a full scale fad. Why? Perhaps because it's bold and classic at the same time. The zig zags demand your attention and then kind of smile at you. The pattern's popularity isn't confined to adult spaces; we're seeing more and more of it in nurseries and kids' bedrooms. Whether you're loving the trend or think it's passé, there's no denying that chevron is having its moment in the design sun.
Here are ten examples of chevron is children's rooms, used on the floors, the walls and as accents:
1. Chevron taking charge with this bold black and white rug in Vivien's Nursery.
2. Show-stopping chevron walls in Noah's Nursery.
3. Chevron curtains practically become a wall in Atti's Sleep Nook.
4. Chevron crib bedding plays off the wide stripes in Finn's Room.
5. Complimenting other pretty patterns as a rug in Zoe's Room.
6. Black and white chevron on the rug echoes the black frames on the wall in Everett Elliot's Room.
7. Cleverly enlivening a ceiling fan in Halligan Smith's son's room (with tutorial).
8. Chevron is the king in the nursery Nadia of House Thirty Six made for her daughter.
9. Holding it's own as a crib skirt against all the gorgeous fabrics in Graham's Nursery.
10. Green chevron curtains making a colorful statement in Locke's Nursery.

Trend? I think I might deem chevron a revolution. Phenomenon. Take over.
I just painted my hallway floor in a chevron pattern, so I am on board the chevron love train.

I too adore the chevron pattern. In sweet colors for a nursery it lends a great graphic note while remaining classic.
I didn't even know it was a trend! I'm making a chevron blanket for my first right now.. I'm so trendy and didn't even know it apparently!
As much as I have fallen for the pattern, I only care for it on accessories, not walls.
I JUST posted about the Chevron pattern and whether or not the trend is over... but I didn't schedule it to post until Friday. Watch for it. http://putabirdonitblog.blogspot.com/
BTW, this latest trend of chevron pattern has been floating around since at least '09.
I would not want to call attention to a ceiling fan.
nice to see all these great images!
we had a black and white chevron wool rug in our living room in San Francisco in 1981...
for years-- wish i had it today! I think I am a bigger fan of Harlequin patterns since then.
