By Megan Murray

Checked decor is in. Here are eight ways to get the look for your home.

From minimalist monochrome grids to kitschy pastel gingham, check patterns are the versatile interior trend we’re loving right now. 

That’s right, this timeless print is adorning all of our most coveted pieces, whether they be found on Etsy handcrafted by independent makers or on the virtual shelves of Liberty. 

If your pad is in need of a bit of a spruce then adding a pattern like this one will help give it the revamp it needs, as well as a trend-focused edge. 

Here we have picked out eight of the coolest check-covered homeware pieces on the market to treat yourself to right now.

Etsy pot plant cover

You get two styles in one with this reversible hessian planter bag. Lucky you.

As this piece is purely decoration, it’s best not to try and re-plant your leafy friend into this bag, it doesn’t have the right support to keep it upright. Instead, just cover the plastic pot your plant came in.

Fermoie cushion

This quality decorative cushion has been handmade in England using 100% linen for the cover with a duck and down feather filling.

It has a retro feel and we love its faded colours.
