If browsing the internet for decor and fashion is a favorite past-time of yours, you’ve probably noticed a developing trend over the past few months - checkerboard! I’m seeing this pop up in all sorts of different places, from painted accent walls, to outerwear and accessories, to home decor pieces. But this isn’t your typical boring black and white checkerboard! It’s a modernized version with retro roots, hearkening back to the 1960’s and using (mostly) neutral and pastel tones, and even playing with the lines a bit at times, making them a little more wavy and imperfect.. groovy, right?! Here are just a few of the countless versions I’ve been seeing and loving!

This comfy shacket that looks SO designer, but is under $50!

These super fun hair clips for a stand-out moment.

This slouchy sweater that’s warm enough for winter, but with a spring-forward color palette. And it’s on super sale right now!

Plant parents rejoice! You can infuse some checkerboard into your life with these sweet little vessels! Which one would you choose? I think I’d have to go for that teal one in the middle!

These bath towels that come in lots of different color combos.

And these (!!) that seriously up the retro level with an added floral element!

Put some CHECK on your TECH with these device covers.. not gonna lie, I’m pretty proud of that pun. 😂

This art print, perfect to add some groovy color into any space.

This adorable squatty little brush holder is a great way to bring this trend into your bathroom.

So, what do you think? Is this a trend you already love or want to get on board with? Let me know! And of course, as always, come hang out with me on Instagram!
