Is there a pattern that feels more synonymous with fall than plaid? Year after year, this pattern trend finds its way back into the design scene right as the weather dips below 60 degrees. We see it in fashion (think printed flannel shirts, tartan jackets, and plaid-lined boots), but the pattern has just as much appeal in the world of interior design, offering that same cozy, effortless feel as your well-worn, comes-out-year-after-year plaid shirt.

This year, plenty of our favorite brands have featured plaid decor in their fall launches. Pottery Barn's Heritage Autumn collection utilizes traditional fall color schemes to make plaid the star of the show, with pieces like the Penelope Chair, the Cedrick Pillow, and the Woodrow Dinnerware Set. For 2026, GreenRow and Anthropologie have given plaid a colorfully refreshed look with the purple plaid pillow cover and the maroon and light blue trinket tray.

If you are looking to make those small seasonal switches in your home and slowly start making it feel cozier, introducing a touch of plaid will always work.
