Buffalo Check

Bring Some Pattern to Your Home with Buffalo Check

Larger scale than gingham, buffalo check can be a bold focal point within a bedroom. Try an organic cotton twin sheet set, quilt or comforter, blackout curtains or a patterned rug to introduce this modern grid pattern into your space. To highlight your buffalo plaid textiles, choose a comforter in a coordinating neutral or complementary color to help the pattern stand out. The simplicity of buffalo plaid coordinates well with solids and when mixing print patterns in organic cotton fabrics. For a twist on traditional buffalo check colors in your child’s bedroom, consider a navy and white variation to convey the feel of cozy evenings. Adding a white headboard, bed frame and wooden nightstand help the rich blue pop. For a different look, combining the tartan-esque pattern with rustic bedroom furniture gives an air of warmth, even on the coldest of nights. Look for textiles that are reversible to give the room a fresh look. To extend the theme throughout the bedroom, choose a simple bedside lamp or desk lamp for nighttime reading. Then, add wall art that showcases your child’s interests while defining the room’s color palette.
