Here are a few tips for incorporating them into your interior design:

Choose the right pattern: Stripes and checks come in different sizes and styles. Consider the overall aesthetic and vibe you want to achieve in your space. Narrow stripes or small checkered patterns can create a more subtle and classic look, while bold and wide stripes or large checkered patterns can make a bolder statement.

Select Appropriate Colors: Decide on the color palette that fits your overall design scheme. Consider the existing colors in your room, such as furniture, flooring, and accessories. Choose colors that either flow together harmoniously or create deliberate contrast to make a visual impact.

Feature walls: Consider using stripes or checkered wallpaper on a single accent wall to create a focal point in the room. This can be particularly effective in areas such as the living room, dining room or bedroom. Choose a wall that draws attention and enhances the overall aesthetic of the room.

Balance with solids: To avoid overwhelming the space, balance the patterned wallpaper with solid-colored elements. This will help create visual harmony and keep the room from feeling too crowded. You can use plain furniture, curtains or accessories to create a visual break from the patterned walls.

Consider the size of the room: Keep in mind that different patterns can visually affect the perception of space. Vertical stripes can make a room appear taller, while horizontal stripes can make it appear wider. If you have a small room, consider using vertical stripes to create the illusion of height.

Don't overdo it: While stripes and plaid patterns can be visually appealing, it's important not to overuse them. Integrate them strategically to maintain a balanced and cohesive look. Too many patterns can be overwhelming and detract from the overall design.
