Pia’s Picks: chequered patterns make simple things look pretty

I’ve never been mad about chess. But I love the pattern on a chessboard. It spices up even the most everyday item.

I enjoyed watching the 2020 Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit, but it didn’t motivate me to play chess. Might this change with my new obsession for furniture and home accessories featuring chess board pattern?

Last but not least, chequerboard patterns are timeless. Like stripes, squares and dots, they’re a classic. So there’s a good chance you’ll like them for longer than animal or palm tree prints.

In my Pia’s Picks series, I regularly showcase my favourite finds – things I might not need, but definitely want.

Like a cheerleader, I love celebrating good design and bringing you closer to everything furniture- and interior design- related. I regularly curate simple yet sophisticated interior ideas, report on trends and interview creative minds about their work.
