Checkered wallpaper in the interior for the kitchen, nursery and other rooms

The brighter and more interesting the pattern on the wallpaper, the more cheerful and impressive the interior of the room looks. That is why many designers have noted the benefits of using the cage as the main pattern on the walls of ancient and modern interiors.

Despite the severity and restraint, checkered wallpaper for walls carries internal energy and can make the room brighter and more interesting. In addition, plaid in muted shades is considered an excellent option for creating a relaxing and soothing environment.

Despite the variety of useful functions of this pattern, not everyone uses such wallpaper as background wallpaper in the interior. Checkered wallpaper is very capricious and requires the right combination of colors and shades, selection of furniture and accessories , and the number of styles that involve such a design is limited. But by deciding to add checkered elements to the walls of your room, you can achieve an effect that is rarely achieved when using other patterned wallpaper - create a luxurious, respectable and spectacular room in which both adults and children will be comfortable .

Cage in the interior - its types and history of use

The cage is a classic pattern, but its history and presence in the interior is not too long. It appeared in interior design in the mid-twentieth century, when it was borrowed from textiles and clothing, after which it had a rapid career. The pattern adds warmth and comfort to the interior with a touch of light elegance. The most famous checkered patterns are:

• Tartan (also called tartan) is a multi-colored, tinted shade that typically appears on upholstery, wallpaper, and in certain items such as rugs, blankets, and curtains.

• Vichy check, of French origin, is thinner, two-color, combining white with blue, red, light blue, and less often with green. In the form of modest small patterns, it is often used in textiles and kitchen accessories (curtains, tablecloths, fabrics, chair cushions) or in bedroom textiles. In a larger version, it looks great on upholstery and decorative pillows.

• Burberry check, consists of a combination of white, red and black checks on a beige background. It is seen as a symbol of elegance (it is the flagship pattern of a prestigious company with the same name), so it adds prestige to the design of rooms. You can decorate everything with the burberry pattern: wallpaper, fabrics, upholstery, pillows, lampshades, carpets and bed linen.

• Chicken foot is a very popular pattern, found in furniture upholstery, textiles and wallpaper. However, its expressiveness does not make it suitable for use on large surfaces, so it can be used to highlight only part of the room, for example, one of the walls or a fragment of a wall.

Checkered patterns are classic and unpretentious; they fit perfectly into rooms of various styles:

• country;
• rustic;
• English;
• and even French.

The simplicity of this pattern makes it also suitable for use in more modern interiors. It is interesting to note that although expressive, this pattern blends easily with others, so you can freely combine it with floral or geometric motifs.

Design solutions with checkered wallpaper

A cage in the interior will play its role perfectly if it is complemented with appropriate furniture and accessories. An additional element of checkered fabric in the same style will look good with checkered wallpaper. Curtains or chair upholstery, a tablecloth on the table, a checkered lampshade or a couple of pillows on the sofa. The main thing is not to overdo it. Therefore, use one, maximum two additional accents. For example, checkered napkins and a checkered sofa.

With the help of checkered wallpaper in the kitchen, you can zone the space by highlighting the dining area with a checkered wallpaper pattern.

If you are planning to make a bar counter in your kitchen, then pay attention to the design in the style of an English pub. In such an interior, tartan will certainly create the right atmosphere for you.

The cage surprisingly easily joins ethnic patterns in the interior and combines ideally with monochromatic interior solutions. These can be plain, wallpaper-free walls, or plain fabric for curtains or furniture. The interior looks very harmonious, where the tone of the surrounding surfaces and one of the shades of the wallpaper cage matches.

You can choose wallpaper and combine them, placing a plain material in the upper part and a checkered material in the lower part. And divide the upper and lower parts with a cheerful border from the same series.

In any case, checkered wallpaper in the kitchen will add originality to your interior. A bright check will lift your mood and energy, a light check will bring harmony and tranquility.

Selecting checkered wallpaper

Checkered wallpaper is considered capricious. It is important to correctly combine them with certain style solutions and colors. If you decide on wallpaper of this type, then you can create a truly luxurious, sophisticated, unique interior. Checkered elements will appeal to both adults and children.

It is necessary to choose checkered patterns wisely. It is necessary to take into account a large number of important nuances. When choosing checkered wallpaper for walls, it is recommended to pay attention to certain nuances.

Character of the drawing

The cell can be varied. In this regard, the effect of its use is different. If you are a supporter of a classic or aged interior, then “Scottish check” is perfect. A checkerboard-shaped checkerboard will emphasize the rigor and restraint of the interior. Multi-colored mosaics will make the interior positive. Pastel and muted colors will fill the room with coziness and comfort.

Cage size

If the room has a long wall, then a large cage is perfect. In cramped interiors, it is better to opt for small cells. Excessively small cells negatively affect vision. Such a cage should be present on only one wall.

Shade selection

It is advisable to use gloomy and dark shades for well-lit spaces. A light cell with invisible borders is a universal option. Often the cage is used as a bright accent to attract attention.

Taking into account interior style

The simplest and most popular option is to use a Scottish check. This is an excellent solution for English and classic interiors. The perpendicular intersecting lines of the Scottish check fill the room with coziness and comfort. Also, the cage is harmoniously perceived in a style such as country. Calm, soft textures, classic furniture, and discreet patterns are used here. The cage also looks stylish in a modern interior. It sets the dynamics of the room and focuses attention on important elements.

Country style checkered wallpaper

A color scheme

Each style decision involves the use of a specific palette. If this is a Scandinavian style, then mostly cold shades are used. The high-tech style uses a black and white palette. With the help of checkered patterns you can easily hide unevenness and imperfections on the walls. Working with a cell is a complex and painstaking process. If you cannot decide on the appropriate option yourself, you can use the services of professionals.

Stylistic decision

Each style consists of certain combinations of shades. For example, in the Scandinavian style, cold tones predominate:

• blue;
• violet;
• blue;
• grey.

The high-tech style uses a black and white checkered pattern.

How to choose a pattern:

1. If the apartment is large in size, then a large cage will look good.
2. If the room is small, then it is better to choose wallpaper in a small checkered pattern.
3. However, you need to remember that a too small cage has a bad effect on vision, because of this it is better to decorate only one wall.

The Vichy cell was invented in France in the city of Vichy, located southeast of Paris. This is a combination of a white wall and bright lines of any color: indigo or azure, emerald, orange, scarlet, lilac. In the drawing, 3 types of cells are used: 2 main tones close to each other and one intermediate one, obtained by mixing these 2 tones. Vichy can be used to decorate rooms furnished in Provence style.

English style

Do you want your kitchen or dining room to look like the home of an English aristocracy? This is quite a bold idea for a kitchen space, but with the right approach it is possible.

The English style is characterized by a Scottish check pattern called “tartan”. Traditional tartan designs are filled with rich reds, blues and greens. Due to their brightness on wallpaper, they can be a difficult solution for the kitchen interior. Therefore, very often tartan is used in combination with lighter plain or striped wallpaper, as in the photo below.

We must remember that the cage is an ornament that requires a tastefully selected environment. If your style is English, then do not forget to add natural materials to the interior. Scottish patterns go well with leather furniture, dark wood furniture, brick walls, the presence of natural leather, stone and wrought iron items.

How to choose a style for a small decorative cage

With so many options available, it's easy to get confused. Which cage is right for you?

It all depends on the overall stylistic direction of your room.

• If you are a fan of abundant lace, flowers, plants, photo frames and other decorative elements, then feel free to make a choice in favor of a romantic design. A white, colored or artificially aged check, complemented by accessories that already decorate your home, will only create an additional accent in the overall appearance of the room.
• If you adhere to minimalism in the furnishings of your living space, then a forged or whitened cage with clear contours and the absence of decor on it will emphasize the style and sophistication of the apartment owner.
• A decorative palace cage, a cage with a decorative chain or a candlestick cage will appeal to lovers of timeless classics.

Flowers in a decorative cage will add a little romance to the mood

Scottish plaid on the walls: when is it relevant?

Scottish check (tartan) is a pattern created from a large number of lines united perpendicularly, forming squares and rectangles. Typically, this design consists of dark lines on a light background. Since in this case dark and light colors are combined, this wallpaper can be used to cover any room.

You can also decorate one wall in a large spacious corridor. Place a rug with an identical pattern at the door, and make a similar upholstery on the bench for changing shoes.

Provence and country

The cage is a sign of coziness and comfort, so it is firmly established in the so-called “rustic” styles, such as country and Provence. These styles are closest in spirit to being implemented in the kitchen. They combine pastel colors, natural wood, vintage ceramic and glassware, floral prints and light-colored checks that are less contrasting than tartan.

The Provence style is closer to the Vichy checkered style. This is a two-color print made of cells of two colors, smoothly transitioning into each other. Most often, “Vichy” is a combination of white with blue, red or black, as in this photo.

Country and Provence easily allow the combination of checkered wallpaper with floral motifs in the same color scheme. A variant of this combination is a cage on the wallpaper and bright flowers in the upholstery.

Another option is a combination of two types of wallpaper with different patterns in one kitchen space.

If you decide to combine two types of ornaments in one space, keep in mind that the wallpaper must match each other. By material, texture and color scheme.

The combination of wallpaper does not mean that they must be the same texture or color. Most likely, they should be made of the same material, and the texture or color can be either in contrast or in the same design solution (in the same style or in the same theme).

Bold design solutions can combine the calm Provence style with graphic plaid based on white. To do this, it is enough to place checkered wallpaper on only one wall of the room. And, for example, complement them with baguette decoration, which enhances the sophistication of the interior.

What wallpaper is suitable for the kitchen

Just a disclaimer:

Washable does not mean literally washable. The designation is conditional and different manufacturers make different numbers of layers and materials. There are washable, waterproof, moisture-resistant, abrasion-resistant, etc., but all this does not provide 100% protection.

That's why:

1. No wallpaper can be glued in the work area. If the sink is near the edge, then the apron should always go to a perpendicular wall.
2. If there is a dining table against the wall, then either do not glue it there, or use it as carefully as possible.

From the point of view of environmental friendliness and toxicity, all foreign wallpapers undergo strict certification and have no problems.

Washable and suitable for the kitchen

Almost all types have 2 layers: base and coating.

Can be glued:

1. Non-woven wallpaper. Both the inner layer and the outer layer of non-woven polymer material are the most stable.
2. Vinyl. They come with a paper base and non-woven base. The second ones can be used in the kitchen, the first ones cannot.
3. Glass wallpaper. Fiberglass made of interwoven threads. Usually used for painting. Monotonous appearance.

In practice, waterproof wallpaper on a non-woven basis can be easily identified by bending the corner of the roll: non-woven wallpaper is denser and more flexible - there will be no crease.

If a visible bend line remains, then the base is paper and definitely cannot be used.

Below is a table of marking options. I marked the ones that are suitable depending on their resistance to water:

High-tech, modern, minimalism, loft

Surprisingly, the classic check perfectly complements modern styles. For example, a high-tech kitchen can be decorated with a bright Scandinavian-style wall by adding wallpaper with a gray-lilac pattern.

But most often, modern styles are decorated with a “checkerboard” - a cage consisting of plain contrasting squares. Traditionally, these are black and white squares. There are many others, but always 2-color solutions. Sometimes the “chess” is replaced by the “Vichy” square, which is similar in style.

The loft tends to be tartan, but can easily be adapted into a checkerboard pattern into your interior.

Interior of a corridor with a staircase in a private house: how to design

In a house with a spacious hall, a wide staircase located in the center will be an excellent design solution. Wide flights of stairs running up, side railings are decorated with railings, balusters - all this looks incredibly stylish and elegant. This placement of stairs is typical for the classic style with a long opening.

A house with a narrow long corridor requires more concise solutions:

1. It is better to place the stairs to the second floor along the wall.
2. It is better that the staircase consists of one flight of stairs, if the length of the corridor allows it.
3. You can start decorating the wall running along the stairs.
4. A good tip would be to abandon massive accessories in favor of paintings, built-in lamps, photographs and garlands. This will give you comfort.
5. Mirrors are also an excellent solution - they will help visually expand the space.

Spiral staircases are also an excellent solution when space is limited. Unlike marching ones, they are located in a smaller space and are not so massive. True, going up and down such stairs is somewhat more problematic. But it does not clutter the interior and looks very compact. For a two-level apartment, this is almost the only solution: it is rare when it is possible to fit a luxurious flight of stairs there.

Saving usable space is the main advantage of this design. In addition, interesting design solutions will bring new notes to the interior of your home and help achieve lightness and airiness of the entire design of the house as a whole.

It is impossible not to mention the comparative cheapness of such stairs. The manufacture of such a structure will require less materials than the manufacture of a flight of stairs, which cannot but affect the price.

The main disadvantage of such a staircase is the small tread width. Also, the absence of risers in a narrow space poses a certain danger - almost all spiral staircases are designed without them. Do not forget that the staircase should be harmoniously combined with the rest of the interior details.

You can lay down carpeting in a bright shade and choose accessories in the same color. This will set the tone for the entire interior.

Antique effect

In addition to a metal cage, you can use wooden bird cages - paint them with white paint, creating scuffed effects. Shabby chic, vintage, Provence and others like them will gladly accept such a “gift”. A wooden cage can be decorated using the decoupage technique, creating a crackle effect - cracks created in a special way - using craquelure varnish - will create a convincing imitation of wood that has cracked over the years.

You can create an imitation of an antique cage using the tinning method. There are different types of processing that allow you to achieve a spectacular look, as if the cell has retained a touch of antiquity:

• Prime the metal parts of the cage with red lead;
• cover with drying oil or oil-based varnish;
• Apply beeswax and polish.

You can create a patina effect, this will enhance the decorative effect of a stylish piece of English interior design and emphasize the vintage styling of the house. Supplement the cage with lighting - just a small LED “twig”, and a romantic atmosphere is created.

Examples of checkered interior

The checkered pattern may appear:

• In decor (the most popular option).
• On surfaces of finishing materials.
• In furniture upholstery or covers for it.

However, there are no restrictions on the types of rooms to be decorated. With the right approach, the cage will look organically in loft, modern, Provence, country, art deco, shabby chic, ethnic, high-tech, minimalism, chalet, colonial, Japanese, English, Scandinavian, Italian styles. If you try very hard with the selection of colors, the ornament can even blend into a classic setting, but without design skills, it is better not to take unnecessary risks.

Such a large stylistic “dispersion” arose due to numerous checkered variations: both in the nature of the pattern and in color combinations. Light Vichy is suitable only for Provence, shabby chic, fusion and “frivolous” Italian style. The use of an ornament created using the patchwork technique is limited to ethnicity alone. Discreet tartan can decorate interiors designed according to the canons of loft, country, chalet and art deco. Chess is combined with minimalism, high-tech, Scandinavian and colonial style.

Kitchen-living room

The checkered pattern in rich shades looks especially soft and warm in the kitchen. In this room, the hostess usually tries to create a special coziness that will inspire her to prepare culinary masterpieces. The cage can appear in decorative elements and textiles: lamp shades, hot mittens, towels, tablecloths, napkins, curtains, coasters, upholstery of chairs and soft corners. Wallpaper, plastic panels, tiles and even ceiling cladding are decorated with mischievous patterns. Pink, purple, blue, red, green and yellow checks are combined with white and lighter shades of the main, bright tone. In order for the design to look complete, the ornament is continued in ceramic and porcelain decorations of the same shades.

Argyle, burberry, houndstooth and tartan are commonly used in living rooms. These patterns help to create a unique atmosphere, which, on the one hand, will gravitate towards severity, but at the same time will not deprive the room of a touch of homeliness. In spacious living rooms, you can use an original interior technique - decorating an accent wall exclusively with a cage. In order to maintain balance in the setting, the rest of the design should be neutral pastel, without rich impurities, otherwise the composition will begin to visually “break up” into colorful pieces. A decorative bright pattern can also decorate the surface of a sofa, armchairs, blankets, pillows, and rugs.

The brown-sand burberry on the wall combines perfectly with framed retro photographs with bright blue and light blue upholstery on the corner sofa against a background of gray laminate.

Hallway

In small apartments, narrow corridors should be decorated with a cage with caution. For these cases, only neutral options created from a combination of light shades are suitable. Cramped rooms are always decorated in light colors, which visually expand the space. In more spacious houses, corridors are replaced with luxurious halls. In such rooms, you can completely decorate one of the entire walls with a checkered pattern.

For those who prefer to get by with a minimum of details, options with light decor are suitable: ornaments on the rug at the front door, on a basket for umbrellas and canes, in the upholstery of a bench for changing shoes.

Bathroom and toilet

The checkered pattern in the bathroom and toilet is used in the tile surface. You can choose tiles in different colors and “assemble” the pattern yourself during installation, or you can purchase ready-made ceramics decorated with small squares. It is not recommended to decorate the entire bathroom with a checkered pattern. Excessive diversity will damage the room, which usually does not differ in dimensions. Using the pattern, they create accents above the bathtub or in the shower area, separating two zones of the combined bathroom. The cage can also decorate shower curtains, towels, rugs and even baskets for dirty laundry.

Black and white checkerboard looks original and stylish on the floor and partly on the walls in combination with snow-white tiles. Bright accents in such decoration are placed exclusively as decoration. You can add touches of any shade to such a neutral palette, as it readily combines with any tones.

Children's

A children's room is the very place where colorful experiments are welcomed and even bright patchwork is suitable. Experts recommend surrounding your baby with rich colors from early childhood, as this allows him to learn the world faster, better navigate space, and recognize objects based on color associations. In a child’s room, a bright cage decorates not only bed linen and bedspreads, blankets, curtains, the backing in a parrot cage, a book clip, and the upholstery of a chair or sofa.

The pattern can be implemented in storage areas. For example, numerous shelves in an open shelving unit are painted in different shades and a large colorful checkered pattern appears in the children's room. Such an original cabinet can be purchased at IKEA ready-made. Budget furniture is ideal for a child, who sooner or later will “grow out of it”, like out of an old overalls.

In rooms for teenagers, it is recommended to use calmer tones. For boys who are interested in football, the hooligan burberry is suitable, but for girls, Vichy or Guineme will be relevant. The ornaments are embodied mainly in textiles.

Bedroom

It is not recommended to use a bright, catchy checkered pattern in the bedroom. This room for sleep and relaxation should set you in a calm mood and relaxation. A black and gray checkerboard pattern can decorate the floor or a couple of pillows, but it is not recommended to decorate an accent wall with such a pattern. Vichy with neutral pastel shades is used at the head of the bed. In rare cases, tartan, argyle or pepita are used if the style of the room allows such rigor. A soft, beige-gray checkered pattern can decorate the headboard of the bed. The ornament is combined with a plain ivory bedspread and luxurious wallpaper with a floral pattern of the same color.

If desired, you can add a bright red, blue or purple rug at the foot of the bed to the simple interior of the bedroom. It combines perfectly with a similar pattern on lamp shades.

Subtleties of choice

Despite its high popularity, checkered wallpaper options will never reach the level of demand for regular plain canvases. This fact is largely due to the difficulties in choosing wallpaper companions, their colors, furniture, curtains, household items and accessories. However, those who choose similar options for decorating the walls of their rooms never wish for their original choice.

To get a high-quality and balanced interior, you need to match the wallpaper and arrange pieces of furniture and other elements in the room so that you get a complete picture that is pleasant to look at. Therefore, before purchasing wallpaper with a similar pattern, it is advisable to weigh the pros and cons of such a decision.

To make it easier for you to decide, you can pay attention to the following features in using such an extravagant type of pattern on wallpaper.

Fresh bedroom interior

We are looking for a good option

The most important criterion for wallpaper with a checkered pattern will be the size of this very check. Conventionally, we can distinguish large, medium and small ornaments, and each can be used in different ways:

• It is acceptable to choose a small cage for any room; it does not spoil the geometry and looks cute and cute. Most often it is used as an additional background designed to emphasize the color variation of the room. In this case, wallpaper with other geometric patterns can serve as accent wallpaper. Small patterns on wallpaper are used to decorate walls in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens.
• The medium cell is similar in characteristics to the small one, so its style of application is appropriate, but the large version is used differently.
• A large cage looks good only in large rooms; in small ones it loses its attractiveness and has a bad effect on the visual perception of the room. The use of such a pattern in a small kitchen, in a small hallway or a narrow corridor is unacceptable.

Style

For adherents of the classic style, an English or Scottish check would be an excellent solution. This pattern will be the optimal backdrop in a conservative and austere interior of a living room or home office.

For modern, fashionable trends, a cage in an original color, to some extent even exotic, would be appropriate. Such an ornament can become fundamental in the interior, and other important elements will be selected for it.

Refreshing colors in a south-facing living room

The coloring of the pattern and its formation can become the starting point for choosing a style direction, while the cage works equally well in both classic and modern design. Most often, British check is used in styles such as classic, loft, country, high-tech, although sometimes it can be seen in modern. However, only professional designers can successfully integrate such an original design into a non-standard interior.

Note that the color of tartan most often has a dark color base. Classic Scottish colors have always been dominated by black, red, blue, yellow and brown. All these colors are of natural origin; they were the symbols of certain territories of a large country.

However, such a color scheme will not always be appropriate in the house; for example, in small rooms, dark colors will create a gloomy and uncomfortable interior. Therefore, it is best to use a combination of colors, or turn to light colors. Of course, light shades are not always appropriate, for example in the kitchen or hallway, but these are private options.

The cozy atmosphere of one of the rooms in the house

What to combine the cage with

The cage is classified as an ornament with intense, dominant “energy”. Regardless of the color scheme, it will suppress any other pattern if placed next to it. Checkered surfaces are best combined with plain elements. The combination of colors is selected based on the principle of analogy, since contrast is not the best option for an overly active pattern. In rare cases, a pastel check can look organically paired with a soft, floral ornament made in the same colors.

The cage is out of fashion. Despite the design's abandonment of many ornaments that had become traditional, this pattern does not age or gather dust on a shelf, but decorates even ultra-modern apartments. Due to its versatility and wide “range” of variations, the cage is easy to match to almost any interior. She can be calm, mischievous, homely, careless, airy, strict and elegant. All that remains is to choose and implement it in decoration. Then your interior will become like a clan tartan - unique and inimitable.

Decorating the cage with flowers and herbs

It is very common to decorate a bird house with bouquets of fresh or handmade flowers. Such a decorative element can decorate absolutely any space: living room, kitchen, bedroom, children's room or even bathroom.

Advice! Place a composition of fresh flowers, house plants, or herbs and dried flowers inside the cage and you can rest assured that such a decorative element will be a win-win in any corner of the apartment.

Cages decorated with flowers will add freshness and spring to any room

Choosing the right cell

For some reason, checkered wallpaper is not perceived harmoniously by everyone in the interior. Style is very important when choosing, in order to do everything right, you should follow some rules:

1. The nature of the cell. The cell size and shadow may vary, so the resulting effect may not be what you expect. For example, “tartan” will emphasize tradition in the interior or old-fashionedness, “checkerboard” will create an emphasis on rigor, phlegmaticity and calmness, and a bright checkered wallpaper will add vigor and richness. The photo below will clearly demonstrate this.

2. The size of the cage on the wallpaper. Large is suitable for rooms where the walls are elongated and not furnished with heavy furniture. In the cramped space, the specificity of the large drawing is simply lost. It is not recommended to glue a small cage to all walls at the same time. Such an interior will put pressure on the eyes; it is better to use it in wall decoration.

3. Choice of shades. This is an important aspect of choice. An overabundance of muted colors will make the room uncomfortable; this design option will require additional lighting. The best option would be a light checkered wallpaper with barely visible edges, but it is not recommended to glue it in rooms where the likelihood of contamination is too high: the hallway, kitchen or corridor.

Advice! Wallpaper checks are often used to highlight certain areas of a room. If you make them in bright colors, it is very important to choose the color correctly, for example, light green with crimson will look stupid and disharmonious. At the same time, it will not be possible to achieve a luxurious and colorful style in the interior.

Check design

Checkered wallpaper geometry is mainly used in vintage styles, but recently designers have used it in modern trends.

The simplest option is tartan. Ideal for classic or English style. Skillfully selected stylized furniture and, for example, a fireplace will complement and emphasize only the chosen theme. Tartan is a pattern consisting of many perpendicularly connected lines forming regular and precise rectangles or squares, most often in dark colors on a light background. Pay attention to the photo of the corridor interior:

Another very popular style is country. It is created using antique furniture, plain curtains and subtle geometric checkered wallpaper. A light tone with a medium-sized pattern can highlight the warmth of home comfort. See what checkered wallpaper looks like in the interior:

Advice! For those who like to create monochromatic interiors, designers recommend choosing checkered wallpaper with barely noticeable edges of the pattern.

You need to understand that each style has its own color scheme. For example, a cold staircase corresponds to the Scandinavian style. True, the American direction is completely opposite to the previous one, use bright colors.

The winning option for interior design is black and white checkered and high-tech style.

In general, checkered wallpaper is useful both for decorative purposes and as a method of masking small irregularities on the wall surface.

The cage inside has a positive effect on the visual effect - this is an important fact, especially if the room is small.

Advice! When decorating the interior with checkered wallpaper on one wall, you should not furnish it too tightly. We also advise you not to use shelves with frames, figurines or clocks; it is better to place them on the opposite side or on any other, more monochromatic side.

Basic rules for the cage

The cage will help to visually expand the space; for this you must be able to choose it correctly:

• check is the perfect backdrop for floral and ethnic motifs. Soft non-standard shapes add originality to the wall. The photo below shows a successful combination of checkered wallpaper in the interior.

• checkered wallpaper requires thoughtful furniture and decor. They go well with plain upholstered furniture, but so that the furniture and the wallpaper pattern have the same shade;
• a cell that is too colorful will seem intrusive. Designers recommend using two types of different colors and sizes at the same time;

Important! Checkered walls do not need a huge number of photographs on the walls, frames, souvenirs and other accessories. They will simply merge into one stack, including the background pattern, and will not create any effect.

Color compositions

A pattern of pastel colors will make the room cozy, comfortable, more sunny; it is used in dark corridors and rooms where there is little natural light. Dark checkered patterns are used in bright, well-lit rooms to make them “cooler.”

Light cell

It is necessary to select the decoration of a room, taking into account not only aesthetics, but also the practicality of materials.

A pattern whose borders are barely visible is the most universal. True, such finishing should not be done on walls that quickly and constantly become dirty, for example, in the kitchen or hallway.

This type of finish is also used in country style. It is better to choose light and somewhat muted colors for decoration. Classic-style wooden furniture is used here.

Dark cage on the walls

It is recommended to use a dark cage in a room that is well lit by sunlight. It will “mute” bright sunlight and make the room cooler.

Multicolored check

A multi-colored checkered pattern will add brightness, cheerfulness, and positivity to the room.

A pattern of different bright colors will look great in the kitchen. A white, milky, cream background with a pinkish, purple, scarlet, emerald, indigo pattern would look good here.

Even a checkered patchwork pattern is suitable for a children's room. Psychologists advise surrounding a child with rich colors from the first years of life so that the baby quickly learns about the world and recognizes objects. True, near the sleeping place, it is better to use pastel colors. It is also recommended to use calmer shades in rooms for teenagers.

Plain

Small hallways usually do not have windows, so it is better to decorate the walls with a plain checkered pattern in warm pastel colors. Then the room will seem brighter.

Basic rules for using patterns in the interior

Geometric patterns in the interior are the easiest way to liven up the decor and make the room individual. Using proven advice from professional designers, you can avoid common mistakes and achieve the desired effect in the shortest possible time.

• If nothing works, you break all the rules. In experiments, new ideas are born that may not entirely correspond to the canons of design, but only with their help can you fill the interior with comfort and your own style.
• Choose a dominant pattern and include the main color scheme of the interior. Such a model should be large, and all elements of the room should be combined with it. Once this option is selected, similarly select a central ornament that will harmonize with all the small items.
• Choose large images for large objects and small images for small objects. This is due to the characteristics of the space that the selected model will occupy. It is best to use large geometric images on walls, carpets and windows; medium - on accompanying furniture; small pictures - for auxiliary things (pillows, capes, etc.).
• Models of different sizes should be harmoniously combined in one room. This means that there is a balance between large, small and medium images. So if you want a large geometric print in the background, the rest of the room should consist of only small to medium-sized designs.
• The number of models involved must be odd. The fact is that the human eye always prefers an unpaired number of prints. Start experimenting with three to five geometric patterns, evaluate the result, think about how such wallpaper will combine with the surrounding space. Add other elements as needed.

The above rules concerned general schemes for working with geometric patterns. Now let's focus on how to best use this background element.

Features of use

As we have already said, it is best to let a professional designer work with the cage, but if we don’t have one at our disposal, then we can try to build the interior ourselves, based on the basic rules for using wallpaper with a Scottish theme.

There are plenty of subtleties and nuances when working with checkered English wallpaper. It is advisable to use natural materials for finishing: wood, iron, stone. It is important to choose the right decorative elements, high-quality textiles for curtains, and noble wood furniture. Ideally, when decorating a room in tartan colors, you need to have at least a vague idea of ​​Scotland and its tartan. By the way, tartan literally means “Scottish check”.

In ancient times, the design and color of the tartan indicated that a resident of Scotland belonged to a particular clan. Every resident of this country was proud of his pattern and its colors, because it clearly showed how rich his region was, what natural resources it had. In those days, colors were only natural, and everyone knew what they were made from.

Traditional Scottish kilts, made in the colors of a particular region of the country, are still worn, but this is rather a tribute to tradition. Much has changed since those long ago days, and Scotland is no longer the same independent mountainous country. However, the classic pattern has taken its rightful place in the world of art; now this print is used on clothing, interior items and, of course, wallpaper.

An interesting detail: many people liked tartan, otherwise how can one explain its appearance in such an American style as country. This style is also not new; its roots go back to ancient times, when proven techniques were used to decorate homes.

Note that the cage used in country style can be made of both dark and light colors.

Unlike prim English interiors, in country style the atmosphere is very relaxed, as softer and lighter colors are used here. At the same time, a huge number of vintage accessories indicate the long traditions of this style.

By the way, checkered wallpaper options can be interspersed into any interior in the form of inserts framed by frames and baguettes. An original solution would also be to insert pieces of wallpaper into a picture frame and hang it on the wall.

Wallpaper for walls in an original checkered pattern can be rich and bright, or it can be faded, with a barely noticeable pattern. From a distance they will look like one color, but when you get closer, the pattern will appear. This effect is achieved by using different tones of the same color, for example, a combination of brown, beige and brown will look very original.

Thus, you can use a checkered pattern for wallpaper in any room, the main thing is to correctly build the entire interior, choose sociable wallpaper, furniture, and accessories.

Possible combinations

The most common way to combine checkered wallpaper is horizontal. At the bottom or top of the walls, you can paste wallpaper with lines or stripes, floral patterns, abstraction, classical patterns, as well as plain coverings.

The patchwork technique, done by hand, will also emphasize the beauty of checkered motifs.

In the interiors of a kitchen, bathroom or hallway, you can use wallpaper in the form of a mosaic or a chessboard and combine it with the same floor. The combination of such wallpaper with checkered or plain curtains and curtains looks original.

With the help of additional accessories, such an interior can be made more strict or cheerful. For this reason, checkered wallpaper is in demand: they provide the opportunity to experiment and bring the most original ideas into reality.
