This bold pattern is sure to spruce up your space as the seasons change, and we’ve found nine home accessories in checkerboard patterns that we’re loving right now.


Checkerboard homeware is having a moment, and we are fully here for it. After its resurgence a couple of years ago with the launch of Henry Holland’s breakfast collection and Glassette’s collaboration with David Perry (known for his bold and brilliant checkered pieces), the pattern is once again making a statement in homes everywhere.

The vibrant pattern is a great way to give your home a refresh as autumn settles in, and it works well no matter your interior tastes: if you’re more of a maximalist, the checkerboard pattern is ideal for adding even more to your space; if you prefer a minimalist look, monochrome checkerboard might be just what you need.

Here, we’ve rounded up nine of our favourite checkerboard homeware pieces to shop now.
