More of a tradition than a trend, chevron patterns have been adorning everything from ceramics to clothing for centuries. Now they’re back with a bang and you can see them at every turn. Whether on the catwalks or in the home, chevron patterns are all the rage right now.

This geometric zigzag design is the perfect blend of personality and simple style – but be careful not to use too much of it or it could leave you feeling more than a little queasy.

The best way to incorporate chevrons into your design is to pair them with bold colours and rich tones. That way, they don’t stand out too far and end up overpowering everything else in the room.

Using them as accents in a brave design scheme works a treat; a little cushion here, a rug there. The Totem Sitka roller blind is a great way to do just that. Putting it in with warm, Moroccan inspired colours such as terracotta and burnt orange will give your home a real cutting edge.
