The chevron has existed for a very long time in Europe.It covers almost all the wooden floors of Parisian buildings of the Haussmannian era and did not get rid of in a century and a half.On the other hand, new constructions rarely benefit from this type of parquet, complex to install."It has been present in Quebec for only a few years, and the installation costs extremely expensive.A chevron installation exceeds $ 10 the square foot, while a classic pose costs $ 5 the square foot, "informs us Mélodie Violet.The designer therefore offers interesting spare solutions to integrate this reason with a reasonable budget.
Make a chevron floor in a small space like an entrance gives a lot of rhythm and invites you to enter the house, provided that the direction of the arrow guides the step inward."We can also make insertions on the walls, especially in the bathroom.For example, in a large shower of 5 ft on 3 pi, you can dress the main ceramic wall placed in rafters and the others in a more standard format of tiles from the same collection, ”she explains.It is also possible to make a kitchen back box mixing different formats.
The chimney coat is also a place of choice to receive the chevron pattern.Created from a solid wood of a light shade reminiscent of the color of the floor, it attracts the gaze as soon as you enter the room, especially if it is associated with a contrasting stone, like the slate.The agency director Imagine also suggests the integration of the chevron on a terrace, whether in wood, stone or composite material: "It will surprise and be much more original than a right pose.»»
The triangular effect of the chevron creates a creative atmosphere;It has a certain wealth that is enough to furnish and warm up the space.So we notice it immediately in a stripped place, but it harmonizes at all styles of interiors. « C’est bien de faire un lien dans plusieurs pièces, grâce au dosseret dans la cuisine ou encore des touches de textile, comme les coussins, les tapis»», propose Mélodie Violet.She also suggests using a single color in the pattern to avoid a massive effect and because the chevron has a lot of character.Finally, the designer underlines that it is important to inquire with a store advisor to choose a tile or suitable wooden floor model, that is to say pre-cut, for a chevron installation.
