Plaid wallpaper although classic and timeless has been fairly dormant in recent years. But no more! Tartan checks are back to give your interiors an air of easy sophistication.
Showing up on catwalks everywhere high fashion always follows through to interior design for the home or work space next.
So whether you personally call this pattern; check, tartan or plaid lets look at some trending ways to use it in your home drawing inspiration from the traditional Scottish heritage this versatile look is perfect for achieving a more classic, timeless effect. And with the slightly lighter colourways showing up in wallpaper design, it is now the perfect backdrop for a anything from a bedroom to an office.
Traditionally a tartan uses shades of brown, green, red or black. So if you are after the more traditional plaid wallpaper we have some classic colours to choose from.
I just love the use of this gold and green check design used in a powder room. This design against the trending curved marble tiles keeps this look fresh and modern. Design by CG Design interior design studio in Brisbane and installed by I Wallpaper Interiors.
One of the best features of modern plaid wallpaper is that it can be paired with a variety of different styles of decor. For example, it can be paired with mid-century modern furniture for a retro-chic look, or with contemporary pieces for a more minimalistic feel. It can also be paired with other patterns, such as floral designs, to create a playful and eclectic look.
However you choose to showcase your tartan wallpaper just keep in mind the overall aesthestic of your room to ensure it works with your overall scheme. For example; if you want the wallpaper to be the star of the show, choose a design with bold, contrasting colors. If you want it to blend in seamlessly with the existing decor, choose a design with softer colours and finer lines.
Also to bear in mind scale. Large scale patterns are best used on larger walls so you can appreciate the complete pattern.
In conclusion;
So whether you’re looking to create a statement wall or add a touch of coziness to your space, modern plaid wallpaper is definitely worth considering.
