We are currently seeing a huge reboot of the checkerboard, and I’ve got to say, I am here for it. The classic black and white checkerboard has been shelved, and we’re seeing its vintage resurgence in delicious colour ways that are on-trend with the richer, warmer colours for 2024.
You only need a little bit of checkerboard to make a style impact in an interior, it is virtually one of the easiest patterns to carry off, and adds a touch of vintage charm to your decor.
I’ve compiled a list of the best checkerboard items to introduce to your interior that will honestly make you reconsider everything you thought you knew about the classic checkerboard.
