Happy Home: What's the Deal With Chevron Lines?

At first, I couldn't understand the obsession with chevron lines. What is it that's made everyone go crazy about them?

Here's the thing: they aren't like regular stripes. And they aren't like regular patterns. They are kind of like an ikat print crossed with stripes. Most ikat prints make that jagged up-and-down pattern, but sometimes the design can be busy. Stripes, on the other hand, can be too boring. Welcome chevron lines, the happy medium for all your home decor needs, where playful meets modern.

Here are a few ways to add them to your home decor:

look for them on rugs.

My favorite way to incorporate them in your decor are throw pillows. These are to die for.

Using the print on walls is a cute and fun effect.

There is just something about them. Maybe I'll never know what it is, but I'm hooked. Aren't you?
