Tartan itself comes in many forms and palettes, though the red and green variation feels most festive and cozy for the holidays. “The great thing about plaids is that you can combine them with any solid color to form a cohesive palette,” says Lucy Akins, the blogger behind Craftberry Bush, who decks her home in plaids of every stripe each winter. “I choose similar colors but different sizes for a more interesting look.” Use fabrics in this merry pattern to dress up your fireplace, dining room table, bedroom, living room, and more this season. Let the nostalgic pattern take center stage with decorations like ornaments, pillows, and garlands covered in brightly colored stripes. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite (and simple) ways to incorporate plaid prints into your classic Christmas decorations this year.
