Long gone are the days of chevron-patterned or trellis-printed home decor. Even the once-beloved shiplap is losing its steam in design circles. Instead, there’s a new trendy pattern in town: checkerboard.
The checkerboard pattern is emerging everywhere, from rugs to wallpaper to clothing. If you want to add this fun pattern to your home, try one of these ten ideas.
Create a Large Checkerboard on the Floor
When infusing an old room with a new design, consider a large checkerboard pattern on the floor. Even though the colors are muted, the design gives this space a fun, unexpected look. Choose any two colors you’d like for a quirky design element in your bedroom.
Try a Vintage Looking Backsplash
Checkerboard patterns go with many design styles, depending on the details. In this kitchen, the color and texture of the tile are a perfect throwback to mid-century modern style. The backsplash also shows that a small dose of pattern can make a significant impact.
Add Texture with the Perfect Textured Jute Rug
Add interest and texture with a jute rug like this one from Urban Outfitters. The natural colors coordinate with all decor types, and this rug works well in the living room or under the dining room table.
Cover the Table with A Checkered Tablecloth
Not sure if the checked trend is right for you? Experiment with easily replaceable home decor pieces like a tablecloth or set of curtains. The tablecloth ties into the backsplash in this bold kitchen and fits well with the maximalist design.
Elevate the Look with Pretty Tile
A checkered style doesn’t have to look maximalist or whimsical — it can look elegant when you stick to a black-and-white color scheme and high-end materials. The shiny tile in this entryway lends an upscale look, adding interest without competing with the wallpaper.
Go Semi-Permanent with Removable Wallpaper
Temporary wallpaper has come a long way in the past few years. It works like a giant sticker, making it easy to apply and painless to remove. We love peel-and-stick wallpaper like this to test a trend without committing to an expensive remodel.
Bring the Fun Outside with Concrete Pavers
Pay homage to a checked style by arranging your concrete pavers in this classic pattern. Fill in the empty area with mulch or grass seed. You could even fill a large area by using different colored concrete pavers.
Paint the Floors
A budget-friendly way to spruce up old wood floors is through paint or stain. The checkerboard pattern in this example uses neutral colors, and the surrounding decor makes the space look timeless rather than trendy.
Don’t Forget the Ceiling
Add some pizazz to the ceiling with peel-and-stick wallpaper. The unexpected color combination in this room gives it an eclectic feel, and the wallpaper on the ceiling adds a wrapped-in, cozy feel. A project like this is great if you’re not ready to commit to something long-term since you can remove the wallpaper when you’re tired of it.
Get Cozy with a Checked Quilt
Our favorite way to try new trends is with accessories. Adding quilts, throw pillows, and curtains is an easy way to incorporate a new design without committing to it long-term. We also love the layering on this bed, which gives a peak at the checkerboard rather than making it the star of the room.
