Chevron Pattern in Modern Wall & Fireplace Design
How to Use Chevron in Accent Walls and Fireplace Buildouts for a Stylish Interior
Introducing Chevron: A Timeless Yet Modern Pattern
The Chevron pattern is one of the most recognizable design motifs in architecture and interior decor. Formed by continuous “V” shapes arranged in a zigzag layout, this pattern creates a striking sense of movement and visual rhythm. Unlike the herringbone layout, Chevron lines meet in sharp, symmetrical points — resulting in a cleaner, more modern appearance.
Historically seen in fabrics, flooring, and exterior facades, Chevron is now gaining renewed popularity in interior wall decoration, especially in accent walls, fireplace buildouts, and even ceiling panels. Its geometry fits seamlessly into both classic and contemporary styles, depending on materials and finishes.

Chevron in Accent Walls: Two Practical Design Options
If you’re considering an accent wall design for your living room, bedroom, hallway, or office, Chevron offers a bold and structured look. At Avileve, we offer two main construction methods to create a Chevron accent wall:
1. Chevron with Shiplap Panels
This option uses flat MDF or wooden planks, installed diagonally and joined in a V-shaped pattern.
Finish: Painted in any color using professional spray methods
Best for: Clean, modern interiors
Cost-effective and ideal for simple geometric layouts
Common color choices: White, black, navy, sage green
2. Chevron with Board & Batten Variation
This method uses embedded vertical and diagonal trim to form raised Chevron shapes.
Finish: Typically painted; sometimes combined with LED lighting or shadow gaps
Best for: Traditional or transitional interiors
Adds depth and creates a subtle 3D look
Great for large walls or tall entryways
Both of these options can be adjusted for pattern scale, spacing, and material — allowing for complete customization based on your wall size, ceiling height, and overall home style.
Chevron Fireplace Buildout: A Bold Upgrade to a Classic Design
At Avileve, one of our most requested services is the Shiplap Fireplace Buildout — a floor-to-ceiling media wall with a TV mount and electric fireplace. This design, often finished in horizontal white shiplap, is beloved for its clean lines and cozy feel.
But what if you want to elevate this popular buildout with something more visually dynamic?
Upgrade with a Chevron Pattern
Instead of traditional horizontal shiplap, we can install the panels in a Chevron layout, creating a more artistic and impactful visual statement.
