Trend Alert: Chevron Walls

Most interior design trends that I come across tend to include accessories or textiles that stylish home decorators can easily purchase. But the latest trend is much more inspiring because it's completely DIY. Crafty dwellers across the world have been taking to the paint bucket (and in some cases contact paper) and dressing their walls with chevron patterns in every color imaginable. Zigzag or herringbone, whatever you want to call it, the V-shape stripes are what's hot now. Come along and see!
