The “V” mark, often inverted, known as the chevron has been appearing in artwork, stone carvings and pottery since 1800 B.C., and yet the popular zigzag pattern based on it continues to give interiors a fresh, hip look. Check out these 10 powder rooms featuring chevron-pattern walls and let us know which one makes your head zig and zag the most.
