Decorating with Chevron Rugs

It's taken me awhile but I'm really liking the look of chevron rugs. They are a bold and modern touch that can be added to any home. If you are looking for a way to add some modern, fresh touches these are certainly the rugs to go for. They look best when they are combined with solid colors, otherwise they can make a room look to busy.
The above photo is a perfect example on how to add these rugs to your own decor. The couch, pillows and lamps are all one solid shade of color, so aren't overwhelming  to the eye.

This room is a perfect play of color. The only other accents in the room that are rust in color are the throw pillows. This pulls the room together. I've looked at a lot of different ways of incorporating chevron rugs into my home and it can be easy to get carried away and add a variety of patterns. But, sticking to simple seems to be the best way to show case these rugs.

The versatility of area rugs make them a popular choice now that most homes have hardwood or laminate type flooring. Here a dining area showcases a black and white chevron rug. The splash of solid green lime colored pillows on the chairs and the shades of green on the wall compliment the rug without making the room look busy.

With so many colors to choose from it is easy to incorporate chevron into any home. The majority of the colors in this room are neutral in tone, and pick up shades of the chevron rug.
The brown and beige in this chevron rug sets the theme for the room by pulling out shades of color from the rug and adding bright colored accessories to brighten the space up.

The white chairs and dark table make this chevron rug stand out. Gennia did a wonderful job putting her dining room together. The colors are perfect and give the room an open, airy and modern feel.

This play of colors pulled from this rug comes together perfectly. And though the ottoman has a small pattern it isn't overwhelming. The throw pillows match the rug and have one large white flower design which compliments the rug without appearing busy. So trick is to keep it subtle without adding more zig zag patterns in the accessories.
