Design Trend: Herringbone

Hi! Jillian here from Her Split Ends with another current design trend favorite. Herringbone! Herringbone is a V-shape pattern originally weaved into a twill fabric commonly used for clothing and outerwear. But this pattern has broken thru into the design world in a major way! It is clean, tailored and linear. It can be subtle and neutral or graphic and bright. And these days herringbone can be found on everything from rugs and pillows to dishware and furniture!

One of the great things about Herringbone is that it’s a pattern that crosses over from traditional to modern. You can easily blend it into a so many different types of spaces {and because its tailored roots are in suit fabric, its an easy sell with the guys too!} So step out into the world of pattern and add a little herringbone into your life!

Get Inspired!
