Chevron was arguably an overdone go-to of the early aughts, but New York City designer Nick Olsen implores design buffs to recall the pattern’s posh uses—think Emilio Terry chairs, 18th-century Georgian doors, and those memorable floors by Albert Hadley. “I keep going back to chevron because you can tweak the proportions, add embellishments and color, and, voila, it feels fresh all over again,” he raves. Case in point: this Olsen-designed Bedford, New York, dining room. Here, we round up creative market picks that play off the playful design.
