That 70s vibe is back! Checked or chequered prints are making a strong comeback this season, and we've branched out from the usual blacks and white to bring vibrant colours to add some energy to your winter styling. Here’s how to style checked prints in your home this winter to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
1. Checkered Heated Throw Blankets
One of the easiest ways to add checked prints into your home is with throw blankets. But why not also make it something you'll definitely use this winter. Dreamaker's heated checkered throw blankets are perfect for draping over your sofa or armchair as an accent piece. For extra comfort, simply switch it on and snuggle into the sherpa side! The added bonus is that this blanket, will save you more money this winter than using the heater. #Girlmath! But seriously, what's not to love with these cute pink and green colourways.
2. Checked Comforter Sets
Transform your bedroom into a cosy retreat with a checked quilt cover set. Choose a classic black and white check for a timeless look, or go for a festive red and green pattern to celebrate the holiday season. Pair the quilt cover with matching pillow shams and a solid-coloured sheet set to balance the bold pattern. The checked design adds depth and texture to your bed, making it the focal point of your bedroom.
3. Checkerboard style Cushions and Pillows
Incorporate checked prints into your living room or bedroom with cushions and pillows. Mix and match different sizes, colours, and patterns to create a dynamic and layered look. For a cohesive theme, combine checkered cushions with velvet or boucle cushions in complementary shades from our friends over at Cadence & Co.
4. Checked Curtains
For a bolder statement, consider adding checked curtains to your windows. These can provide a dramatic focal point and help to tie the room's decor together. Checked curtains add a touch of elegance and can make your space feel more inviting and cosy. Choose heavy fabrics to add warmth and insulation during the winter months.
5. Checked Rugs
A checked rug can serve as a statement piece in any room, anchoring your decor and adding visual interest. Whether placed in the living room, bedroom, or entryway, a checked rug offers both comfort and style. The pattern can range from subtle to bold, allowing you to choose the perfect rug to complement your existing decor.
6. Checked Table Linens
Bring the checked trend into your dining area with checked tablecloths, runners, and placemats. These items can create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for family dinners and holiday gatherings. Pair them with solid-coloured dinnerware and simple centrepieces to let the pattern stand out without overwhelming the space.
Checked prints are perfect for adding a fun touch to your home this winter. Whether through throw blankets, quilt cover sets, cushions, curtains, rugs, or table linens, incorporating checkered designs into your decor will bring back the energy and stave off the cold vibes this winter - so get styling!
