Some trends gets played out quickly and die a quick death. Others linger in such a way that the words “classic” and “timeless” begins to get inserted before them. This is how I feel the zig zag is developing. Super hot and trendy, but really a very easy to incorporate pattern into just about any space and one that doesn’t scream “2009! 2009!”. Just think about Missoni. They’ve built a whole luxury brand on the zig zag! Plus, I just like saying zig zag.
A few favorite items and images for you to consider:
Bedding and pillows by Twinkle Living:
Mary McDonald certainly agrees with me:
I love Alan Campbell’s Zig Zag from Quadrille- also seen on this darling Oomph table:
GORGEOUS tiles from Popham Design:
The ubiquitous Madeline Weinrib rug:
How about making a modern quilt in a zig zag pattern a la A Quilt Is Nice or this crafty lady. I am adoring these for a little boys room!
Have loved Schumacher’s Shockwave fabric for a long time
Loving these gift tags by Linda & Harriet too…
LOVE zig zags. Check out this beautiful zig zag settee: http://sognisorrisi.blogspot.com/2010/02/beautiful-home-022310.html
I definitely think it is a classic pattern. It’s one of my faves! Great round-up!
Love a zigzag, just modern enough to be a bright spot in a traditional space, but at the same time it is almost tribal/ikaty to be more traditional itself.
Zig Zags are definitely one of my favorites! I just put zig zag fabric on my lampshades on my bedside tables!
Wow – is the Popham Design real or a hallucination?!? It’s beyond perfect!! I have a lamp from World Market that I’ve been wanting to paint a zig zag on, just haven’t figured out how to best tackle that project yet.

I’ll never tire of zig zags — love the Emilia Ceramics lamps! I have the navy zig zag as a giant jar and it is GORGEOUS in person.

If you asked me, I would say that I wasn’t a fan of zig-zags. But, I love the lamps and the blue and white rug.
For the love of all things holy its called CHEVRON!

Totally in love with zigzags. I recently made a duvet cover for my son Jude’s little toddler comforter. He looooves it. I love it so much that I’m tempted to steal it(!).

And then w/ the leftover remnants of the fabric, I made a little roman shade for his playroom.
