THE CHEVRON URN


This entry space, featuring Australian artist Kerri's "Kingfisher" prints, is a favorite for its easy, natural style. But for me, what makes the space are those twin chevron urns flanking the table. 

Luckily, Nate Berkus' new line for Target includes a similar style chevron jar (or urn, or vase). Boasting a slightly chubbier stripe, the jars come in two sizes. 

Decor blogger Nicole Gibbons of So Haute shows off a sample of each as Nate nods approvingly - they look great without the lids as well. 


Berkus' jars recall traditional Mexican folkart, where the chevron urn is popular in a variety of colors and styles - including lamps! My personal favorite is this burnt orange shade from Emilia Ceramics. It would look fantastic in my bedroom!

The distinctive look of these vases brings a little pizzaz to any room. Below are a few examples from fellow bloggers.
