Chevron has been around for centuries, and, like most trends, we have reached into the past and updated this pattern for the modern decade. Yes, it has been prevalent in home decor for at least the last year, but it seems like it plans to linger a bit. Here are few home products that will inject either a subtle hint or a bold snap of the fun pattern into your rooms. Just remember that a little goes a long way! — Julieann from CreateGirl

Ziggy Chair - $279.00 »
This sweet side chair is available in multiple colors. It would be perfect as an accent in an office or a bedroom. I like the fact it is armless; if it had arms, the pattern might just be a little too much for the eye.

Scattered Chevrons Curtain - $108.00 »
Often we see chevrons in a crisp, contrasting colorway, usually paired with white, but this pattern is a nice alternative to that. It is not as sharp as some of the others that we see.

I so dig chevron, but I keep hearing people say it's "too trendy" or "dated." I think I just need to go for it! BTW, thanks for giving many cost effective examples.
