When custom-designing a product, whether a sofa, chair, ottoman or fabric headboard, plaid is so fun to decorate with. Plaid has its own personality. Pinks and greens – red, black and white – yellows and grey – any of these colors look great when a Glen Plaid or a big Buffalo Check is used.
A lot of designers showcase a plaid chair in a great fabric and add the same fabric in throw pillows to go on a leather sofa. Another option is to do all-leather furniture and add a big plaid cocktail ottoman.
Plaid is not just used in pillows and on furniture, but also in rugs, wallpaper and accessories. Layering plaid in bedding is also a great look. Plaids can be used for a modern farmhouse or country cottage look, as well.
If you want a touch of plaid or a large splash, try any of these options. Just stop in and see what we have to offer in selections of all types.
