Chevron.
Chevron is a popular pattern in an inverted V formation. This design has really made a comeback in retail stores and on Pinterest. From fabrics for bedding and clothing, to accessories like scarves, purses and jewellery, the chevron has gained lots of attention.
Positioned to remain a classic motif, it historically found it's roots in flooring. Many older homes, with floors over one hundred years old, display the chevron or herringbone designs. These old and beautiful hardwood floors may prove inspiring to the modern interior designer looking to make a high impact, or completely subtle, statement in her or his home. Depending on the flooring materials you choose, and the colour scheme, this way of installing floor planks is sure to continue in its timeless appeal.
There are two general options for the home stylist: the “chevron” or the “herringbone” pattern. The difference between the two is, in the chevron design the material is cut on an angle so that the apex of the V meets squarely; in the herringbone design, the ends of the boards are straight and staggered, creating a slightly different effect. Both patterns evoke thoughts of fireplaces and beautiful views
