Trend Spotlight: A Look at Chevron

Are you looking for a new way to decorate? Are you sick of the traditional stripes and solid colors in your home décor? You should try decorating with chevron! We have a selection of chevron upholstery fabric to help you get well on your way. Chevron is a beautiful inverted V-shaped pattern that has been popping up in home décor recently. You’ll see it everywhere – wallpaper, accent rugs, throw pillows, wall art, and upholstery.

Just because it’s a “new” trend doesn’t mean that chevron is new. In fact, chevron has been around for quite some time! The pattern first appeared on pottery and rock carvings as early as 1800 BC in Greece and Crete. We guess it’s true what they always say… Trends really do come back around!

Take a bold approach to this old-is-new-again trend by incorporating it in your next upholstery project. You can keep it small by creating a fun chevron chair for the den. (Or go all out with a love seat… We dare you!)

Either way, chevron is a trend that we think has some real staying power. After all, it’s been around for centuries.

Flower Power: Decorating with Florals

The right upholstery fabric allows you to bring a whole lot of yourself into the décor of your home. If you choose to go a patterned route, something elegant and floral-based is truly timeless and unique. In addition to upholstery fabric for your furniture, consider these other floral decorating ideas to truly bring it all together.

• Floral murals can be very eye-catching. Instead of framed artwork, consider fully committing to the concept with wall art. If you’re not artistically inclined (or don’t have a friend with some painting skills), you can easily get a pre-made wall decal to complete the project.
• Use floral upholstery fabric to create a beautiful backdrop for a grid of photos. This can be a fun DIY project for a weekend. Simply stretch the fabric over a picture frame, and then arrange your photographs on the fabric. You can affix them easily with some shellac or glue.
• Feel free to get three-dimensional! Enhance an otherwise plain tablecloth by hot-gluing some silk flowers along the sides. This is an unexpected touch that is truly eye-catching.
• Get crafty with your headboard. Part furniture, part work of art – stencil some floral shapes onto the wood. It’s a simple and elegant way to tie everything together.
