Chevron 101

Written by Wendy Garraty

Everyone loves chevron. A quick look at wikipedia taught me a few fun facts about this pattern that I did not know.

“Chevron (also spelled cheveron, especially in older documents) is an inverted V-shaped pattern. The word is usually used in reference to a kind of fret in architecture, or to a badge or insignia used in military or police uniforms to indicate rank or length of service, or in heraldry and the designs of flags.”

Chevron is wildly popular and used in many ways. Take a look.

So why is chevron so popular? It is bold, beautiful and fun. And it works in a variety of ways and spaces.

I am looking for chevron bathroom accessories, specifically a waste basket to jazz up a powder room. Seen any?

Hi Lynette!
Thanks for your question. We have some really cool waste baskets with a zebra pattern that is very similar to chevron. Take a look at the zebra section under “Get The Look” to see these cute items.

Hi Wendy–

Is this something you have in stock or do I need to order it? I would love it in green.

Thank,
Lynette
