Chevron Floors & Rugs

Chevron, chevron, chevron. Every where you turn lately you see this distinctive, bold and graphic pattern being used! Chevron (a.k.a. 'zig zags') is such a striking  design element no matter how or where it's used that I can't help but love it! I like to keep the pattern to a minimum in my tiny home (because it can be somewhat over powering when used in a small space) by just using it in accents like pillows. But if I had the space, I could imagine using the chevron pattern in a LARGE dose by covering the floor in it! Chevron inspired tile, hardwood, painted flooring and carpeting is a great way to make a bold and graphic statement on the floor, in any room. Check out a few examples;

Fabulous Painted Floors

I've painted walls, ceilings, doors, furniture, cabinets, mirrors and various accessories like lamps and frames, but I have never painted a floor! I am so inspired by these images today, it makes me want to clear out a room, grab some painter tape and a roller and go to town!


Here's ten reasons why you should paint your floor! (As taken from My Home Ideas)

1. It's an easy weekend project!
2. It's less expensive than refinishing and staining old hardwood floors
3. Paint hides flaws and imperfections in the floor - You can even paint over concrete or linoleum
4. It easily suits any look from traditional to modern
5. A painted floor withstands every day use and the patina gets better with age
6. It helps define small spaces and can make a hallway or bath stand out from the rest of the home
7. It's always a fun conversation piece!
8. A painted floor brightens any space
9. There is no better way to add a large scale pattern to a room
10. It's easy to maintain, just mop with soap and water
