Zigging and Zagging
If you know even just a little about me you know that I love pattern! Zig-zag print has always been on the top of my I LOVE PATTERN list. It’s a favorite of mine I try to talk everyone in it. My favorite example of the perfect zig-zag has to be by Alan Campbell. His print has a way of coming off as geometric and a touch ethnic yet simple and classic and can be used as a neutral in most settings!
First up is the work of the always lovely and stylish Ms. Harper. She used the print in paper form and I think it give all of her great accessories a unique background that really makes the room.
In a room already full of stripes and a bold red the home owners went with the petite zig-zag print for their $10 barrel chair finds! Just another way to see it used as a neutral.
At first glance you may not see it, but Campbell’s petite zig-zag is in the sweet nursery below designed by Angie Hranowsky. Yet again it’s the perfect neutral.
In the rooms above the zig-zag has taking on supporting roles so to speak in the rooms, but you can also make it the staring member of the room by using it to a upholster a main piece in the room. I would love to take this baby off of Maison Luxe's hands and into my already stuffed house!
Of course I know that Alan Campbell’s fabric is not in everyone’s price range, which is why when I stumbled onto this fabric I knew I would have to make a blog post about it.
I’m in love and it’s only $5.00 a yard!!!!!

Wow, you are officially my new best friend for finding an Alan Campbell doppleganger on the cheap! Love it!
Great find! Now I just have to convince my husband we need a couch just like the one pictured above.
Amazing! What a find!
Oh my GOSH - you are my hero! I have been looking for a similar fabric to that Alan Campbell petite zig zag fabric for months now! I just bought 10 yards, lol! They have it in brown/white too - I got five of the brown and five of the black.
So happy right now - can't beat $5/yard!
I'm not a big pattern person- but for the patterns on my list- this one is near the top.
I've never really thought of zig zag as a pattern option, but it looks great in all of these photos. That's a great $5 find too!
What a clever bargain hunter you are! thanks for the tip! KG (ps love that zig zag sofa....)
I adore the nursery! Those colours, the prints. It's perfect. You're such a great design hunter! I need you in Toronto!
I am head over heals for zig zag and am dying to buy the twinkle pillow from all modern that has been all over the blog world. I am going to save up for it!

It's called chevron.
I absolutely love the zig zag print wallpaper! It creates the perfect backdrop for really special pieces! Gorgeous!
Thanks ANON I'm aware that it's called chevron, but the fabric/print I was discussing was by Alan Campbell and their name is zig-zag.
