About Our Checkered Rugs and Plaid Rugs

Our checkered rugs and plaid rugs give a contemporary take on a classic, timeless pattern. A buffalo check or gingham pattern is perfect for country and farmhouse styles, but a plaid area rug is also a unique choice for a modern or industrial setting.

How to Choose a Checkered Rug or Plaid Rug

Rug Color: Our checkered and plaid area rugs are available in many different color combos. If you’re looking for a bold pop of color, opt for a red buffalo plaid rug. If neutral colors are your preference, then a black and white checkered rug or a grey plaid rug may be the perfect choice.

Rug Size: To determine the best size rug for your space, be sure to measure your desired placement. Large checkered and plaid rugs, such as an 8x10 or 9x12, will look best in larger rooms of your home, including the living room, dining room, or outdoor patio. Smaller rug sizes, including 2x3, 3x5, 5x7, doormats and runners, are the perfect patterned accent for your entryway, kitchen, or bathroom.

Where to Place a Checkered Rug or Plaid Rug

In the Living Room: For a bold look, select a large 9x12 checkered rug to go beneath all of your furniture, with a small margin between the rug and the wall. If you’re looking for a small option, select a 5x7 plaid rug to lay down beneath your coffee table.

In the Kitchen: A black and white checkered runner rug is a classic choice for a narrow farmhouse-style kitchen. If your kitchen is missing a small pop of pattern, add a 2x3 plaid rug in front of your kitchen sink.

In the Dining Room: A large 8x10 or 9x12 buffalo plaid rug is ideal for your dining room, as these sizes will fit underneath a dining room table that seats 6 to 8 people. A classic black and white buffalo check rug beautifully highlights a traditional wooden dining table.

Thanks to the washable technology of our plaid area rugs, you can complete your dining room decor with a beautiful rug without the worry of spilled drinks and dropped crumbs soiling its fabric.

Outdoors / On the Patio: Place a small 3x5 or 5x7 outdoor plaid rug beneath your outdoor coffee table or reading nook to add a bit of dimension and pattern. To highlight a complete modern farmhouse decor scheme, consider adding a large area rug beneath all of your outdoor furniture.

How to Style a Checkered Rug or Plaid Rug

Although checkered rugs and plaid rugs feature a bold and defined pattern, this simple grid-like design can be easily mixed and matched with other patterns. For example, try pairing a checkered rug with floral throw pillows. Also, their simple color scheme will look great in both neutral and colorful spaces.

Washable Checkered Rugs and Plaid Rugs to the Rescue

A bold and defined buffalo check rug pattern should never be ruined by an unsightly stain. Luckily, our stain-resistant rugs are easily machine washable. Finally, your area rugs can stay fresh and clean all the time. With the durable and fade-resistant material, you can be sure that your plaid rug or checkered rug will stay bold and gorgeous for a long time.
