Decorate With Buffalo Checks For Charming Interiors


Do you remember the line from the old song, Home On the Range, that says "Oh Give Me A Home Where The Buffalo Roam" ? My advise is to allow buffalo check pattern some room to roam  in your interiors.

Buffalo Check has a charming, allover check pattern which offers the comforting allure of plaid and a stylish visual texture. Classic and comforting, these checkered prints also transition easily between styles. A red plaid sofa would look just as at home in a traditional setting as it does in a chic, contemporary space. It is equally at home in French country decor.

 So whether your tastes run toward modern or classic, there's sure to be a plaid to suit your style — even if that style changes over time.
Here are some  inspiring ways to work it into your home


Pattern is the best way to take your home decorating up a notch. ... the large buffalo check on the chair back and the French country floral make this a lovely space.

This sweetly checked pattern will bring a bit of country warmth to your home.


If you'd like to decorate your family room in lodge style,the first fabric that comes to mind for many people is a large-scale buffalo plaid.



These buffalo checked slip covers are an absolutely delightful way to decorate your dining room.


Informal buffalo-check fabric on the bench tones down the formality of the ornate French bed. That kind of juxtaposition puts pizzazz in a room's decor.

Covered in a classic blue-and-white buffalo check, these chairs are relaxed and timeless.

Brown and white buffalo checks coupled with transfer ware make this a wonderfully cozy space.

Green and cream  creates a softer look for the plaid.

Yet here on the walls it presents a bolder look.


Check out the ceiling!! Pardon the pun.


A lovely pattern combination.


The pink plaid makes this room so bright and cheerful.

I love the fresh, clean look of this aqua buffalo-check.


Plaid can be bold but it can also be soft and quiet, as this dining room reveals.
