This quiet, subtle herringbone wallpaper comes with an expensive price tag — because it's by Hermès. But just imagine the texture of a gorgeous scarf as a pattern on your walls.

This herringbone pillow has a fall mix of colors. It comes in at an affordable price too.
Chevron rugs almost feel overplayed to me. This herringbone one feels equally as graphic and rad as chevron, yet more unexpected.

If you can't have herringbone wood floors, here's a piece of herringbone you can hang on the wall. I love the idea of decorating with a little wood, and this piece will add texture and a rustic style to your space.
This baby quilt is absolutely amazing! The white background with a colorful herringbone pattern makes it feel modern, and the similar tones of colors give it an almost ombré quality. This is up there with the Wedding Wheel quilt by Purl Bee as my top favorite quilts.
Etsy is a great marketplace to check out if you're in love with a trend. You'll often find artisans making furniture inspired by the trend (and sometimes even at affordable prices). So if you're looking for a herringbone statement piece for your home, maybe this handmade coffee table will be just right.Next: Herringbone-Patterned Firebrick Takes Style to Hearth
