Speaking Of Hand-Painted Chevron Rugs…
I’ve come across several hand-painted chevron rug designs lately. I love how such a simple, bold design can completely transform the look of a rug.
First up, Jenna at SAS Interiors turned this plain sisal rug…
…into this with the help of painters tape and paint…
What a difference!!
Then there’s this one from Little Miss Miggy Stayed Home…
And then this one from Hayley Anderson Photography…
Fantastic, right? Those last two both used inexpensive flatwoven rugs from Ikea.
And then one more, from Fabulous Design File…
I DO love a chevron pattern just about anywhere…on a wall, a piece of furniture, a rug. But I think for my little kitchen, it might look too busy, especially with all of the colors I want to use.
So, for me, stripes it is.
Addicted 2 Decorating is where I share my DIY and decorating journey as I remodel and decorate the 1948 fixer upper that my husband, Matt, and I bought in 2013. Matt has M.S. and is unable to do physical work, so I do the majority of the work on the house by myself. You can learn more about me here.
Thanks for showing Jenna's painted rug. I think that all of us have a slightly worn rug made of carpet that we might be tired of. Don't spend money to replace it. Just turn it upside down and paint it!
I LOVE that idea….so cool!!
I think my husband might hate you for posting this….I just might have to try this out!! haha!
That purple one is gorgeous!!!
Definitely seems to need a big space to fit in, you're right!
Love the chevron rugs, I too love it about anywhere though. I also love a good dose of stripes, can't wait to see your's when it is finished.
I so wish I could pull this off since I can't seem to find a semi affordable chevron rug anywhere!! I think I would probably just make a mess of it 🙁
I love the chevron, but I agree that the stripes will work better in your space. Can't wait to see the finished product!
What material did you decide to use? My friend who does floor cloths uses canvas, and I love them, but they tend to get 'crackly and curled'. Hope you've found another way to do it….
Carol-Anne, I actually decided to use a remnant piece of vinyl flooring that I bought at Home Depot.
I think stripes IS the best option…..can't wait to see it.
Your right with the stripes in my opinion. I usually find my first instincts best. LOVE the idea all the same!

I am a decorative artist in the Seattle area specializing in custom hand painted canvas furnishings such as floorcloths (canvas art rugs), wall hangings and table linens.
Thanks Kristi for sharing my rug! I created that rug almost 2 years ago and it’s amazing to see how much my home has changed since then. It’s still a great project though 😉
