Made from Ian Mankin's Suffolk check in black, the fabric skirt also serves to soften the strong architectural lines of the kitchen design.

Create a “nostalgic” interior, refresh an apartment on a budget, lower a high ceiling and 10 more bright ideas for decorating a space
Checkered pattern is a timeless phenomenon: in addition to the traditional Scottish print, there are so many variations of it that there is enough material for an art history dissertation.
Contrasting or monochrome, rhythmic or slightly outlined, the check always “collects” disparate design elements together, which means it is ideal not only for interiors in the spirit of “I'm in love with the UK”, but also for any eclectic projects. nine0011
Expensive — does not mean angry
Designers know that a “traditional” check in the interior always looks solid. The effect of “rising in price” works even in rooms with a budget finish, and even more so in rooms decorated with high-quality natural materials.
The nursery in the photo was created in such a way that the interior would not have to be redone in the coming years. The bedroom for the boy is decorated in a laconic spirit, and dark blue checkered curtains solved the problem of blinding sunlight, organically complementing the wooden floor and a somewhat ascetic furniture set. nine0011
Litvinov design
Unisex style
Strict two-tone pattern is usually associated with "masculine" interiors, but can play the first violin in the design of a couple's apartment.
How to create an interior that will please both him and her? A universal recipe is to mix laconic finishes and bright accents. For example, complement the checkered wallpaper with furniture upholstered in a delicate cornflower blue shade, and to soften the contrast, throw a checkered pillow on the sofa, as in this photo. nine0011

Litvinov design
From checkered to rhombus
Compared to the living room, the entrance area in this apartment looks more brutal: checkered wallpaper in this apartment , which are reflected in the mirror on the cabinet panel, are complemented by brickwork and small tiles near the door. The latter is designed in the spirit of an unobtrusive retro: blue-blue rhombuses, on the one hand, create a monotonous pattern, but, on the other hand, look more dynamic , than a cage in wall decoration.
VVDesign
Geometry in harmony
Checkered pattern is an interesting solution for rooms with non-straight walls.
We see a great example in the photo: clearly defined squares balanced the rounded walls of the children's bedroom. And the light cage did not allow visually reducing the room of a non-standard configuration.

Compromise in pastel colors
Quilted seam is a modern take on the plaid pattern. It was this furniture upholstery that was chosen for the living room in pastel colors (pictured), where the color scheme sets you up for rest and relaxation. nine0011
A traditional plaid in contrasting tones would look aggressive here, especially in combination with a floral pattern on the sofa; a smooth surface would “simplify” the interior, while a square stitch became a compromise between two polar solutions.
Varvara Zelenetskaya
Lowering the ceiling
Old houses often have apartments with high ceilings, furnishing which is no easier than solving the problem of low walls.
Furniture of medium height in such an interior looks offended and miserable and literally sticks to the floor with no hope of rushing to the ceiling. nine0011
There are two options - buy high cabinets and get to the top shelves with a ladder, or visually lower the ceiling. For example, divide the white wall and ceiling covering with a thick horizontal strip of a darker shade. The yellow checkered print that decorates the visual border in this living room not only coped with the planning task, but also complemented the classic interior with an ironic accent.
Varvara Zelenetskaya
Classics of the genre
Checkered upholstery furniture is the #1 candidate for cosiness, and your love for this pattern is a good enough reason to choose this sofa upholstery. Please note: when the cage is barely marked with light pastel strokes, there can be no question of any conflict of ornaments. So, in this living room, expressive wallpaper with a floral pattern, a cage and a print on the curtains peacefully coexist.

Looking down
Checkered floor tiles are a time-tested, but far from the most budget solution. Linoleum and vinyl coverings come to the rescue - eco-friendly and pleasant to the touch, they easily allow you to lay out a checkered pattern on the floor.

For compact spaces
If you are decorating a small space and do not like white furniture, then this tip will definitely come in handy. A small cell is a spectacular way to visually enlarge the space. True, for the technique to work, there must be more light areas on the surface than dark spots. If you do not overload the wall decoration, dark or, on the contrary, bright furniture (as in the photo) will not seem heavy. In addition, small tiles in the kitchen are much easier to care for than wallpaper. nine0011

Cage plus cage
No one knows the secret to creating the perfect eclectic interior: usually such living rooms are created by trial and error.
Checkered pillow on a checkered chair? Why not.

Nostalgic motives
Longing for the summer season and country romance? Go for "old-fashioned" patterns, like this blue, white and yellow pattern on the tablecloth. If you do not want the modern dining room to become an eternal reminder of childhood in the provinces, it makes sense to think about the non-standard arrangement of the tablecloth. For example, in this interior it looks more like a table cover than a traditional cover, and goes down only along two long edges, leaving the transverse edges of the table open. nine0011

One touch
Let's not be afraid to remind the obvious truth: textiles allow you to quickly and inexpensively refresh the familiar interior. Imagine a white kitchen without short curtains and a checkered tablecloth: the room will resemble a box of furniture.
