Trend alert! If you’re an active user on Instagram and love following along with what’s happening in design, then it’s hard to miss a certain classic pattern that keeps circulating amongst all of us, design lovers. Yup, I’m talking checkers! I’ve been seeing checkered tile patterns in both bold colorways with lots of contrast and also in more subtle color palettes with soft, tonal hues. It’s even trickled its way into home accessories, linens, and rugs in scales big and small. It’s hard to escape these classic little squares. A checkered pattern is no new thing, but somehow, it is feeling fresher than ever. I’m all for it and hope it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. From shower floors and walls to ceramics and bedding, I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite looks and uses for this graphic favorite. Enjoy!

And this is where I segue into a little teaser about an upcoming collaboration with one of my good friends, Becca who owns June and Blue. Becca and I have been working on a Capsule collection titled, “Check-Mate.” How fitting, right? Our rug collection will consist of several checkered beauties in neutrals and wait for it… even a beautiful goldenrod hue. Our rugs will be available in various runner sizes and made to order! We are currently in the color approval process and a few are even on the loom as we speak! And, if you have ants in your pants and can’t wait, Becca currently has a few Bespoke options on her website. I’ve linked them below for you all.

Lastly, I’ll brag about my friend Becca a bit more. This is her kitchen that she recently renovated! She used my favorite zellige tile in a checkered pattern. Brilliant, I say!
Hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more information about our rug drop!
