The 2015 home decor trend predictions say that herringbone and other linear designs are on their way out. Well, we don't agree! If you know how to keep herringbone subtle and classy, you're totally within your style rights to keep it coming! In fact, in these 10 home decor situations, we recommend -- we insist -- you go herringbone, for spot-on stylish.
1. When it's paired with a soft color palette

I mean, how could anyone ever think this would go out of fashion!
2. When it's solid-colored tile

Tile is always in, and you have to stack it somehow -- herringbone just makes it more interesting.
3. When it's an accent piece

If you have a piece this interesting, you've got to make sure it stands out!
4. When it's just a splash of detail

Some how, these two loud trends balance each other perfectly and create just the right amount of beautiful detail!
6. When it's seasonal

When fall colors are involved, everything is right, but herringbone is especially spot-on.
7. When it's thin and unobtrusive

This chic wall design is basically just stripes. But fancy. Like beadboard.
8. When it's an interesting background

Herringbone is the perfect pattern to brighten up those little nooks.
9. When it's clean and framed

First, it's wood, so it's glorious. Second, stained and framed, this wall art is both interesting and beautiful -- wall decor win!
10. When it's the room's central design

With white walls and white details, a little bit of herringbone might be just what you need to give a space some character!
