If your only association with the Chevron pattern is the image of a mint green infinity scarf, now is the time to reconsider. The angular print gained widespread popularity in the early 2010s, giving it a bad name alongside other unfortunate trends from the era, like neon skinny jeans or mustache tattoos; however, Chevron's history actually dates back to the 1970s, when it was popularized by the iconic Italian designer Missoni.
Thus, at Homes & Gardens, we believe that by relying on retro styling and high-end influences, the pattern can still look ultra-chic in 2026, and archival images of David Hasselhoff's bedroom idea from 1979 prove it. Photos from his Hollywood home show the Baywatch star reclining against a black and brown chevron print headboard on top of a velvet blanket. A decorative gold chain hangs down for a pop of metallic, and he leans on a pillow that reflects the colors in the headboard. Overall, the look is neutral, nostalgic, and stylish.
