Every room needs a touch of pattern to make it whimsical and light. While some prints can get a little too full of themselves, houndstooth always makes a statement while being classic and modest. It's astounding how something can be so simple, yet make such a big impression. I'm into brown right now and wanting this rug somewhere in my house!

I don't know what exactly is on that mantle -- driftwood, maybe? -- but it's so cool!

Other colors of houndstooth are fun for making a splash, but, like so many things in life, I think black and white really does it best.

I would never have been brave enough to pair those pillows with that rug, but it's so fun!

Blue and orange is such an unexpected color combination, but it really works! I'm feeling a playroom color scheme coming on...

Second only to black-and-white, hot pink houndstooth is one of my favorites.

The pattern and texture of this room adds so much dimension while the color palette keeps it so soft. Leather headboards are one of my favorite things.

Love the blue with the orange and I really like it in the carpet. Funny but I just bought a new houndstooth jacket....lol.
I like all of the new preppy chic colors but black and white is my fav!
I love this post! Very beautiful images. I like the houndstooth pattern but I am not brave enough to use it on furnitures or rugs! Maybe on decorative pillows (like the blue and orange room) and the back of the chairs on the dining room. (like your pictures above)
Our favorite is the sofa with the orange pillows.Really fun as rug design.
I ADORE houndstooth in both decor and fashion. I'm feeling the brown as well!!
I adore the first image!!
Gorgeous.
I just bought a small houndstooth remnant the other day at a thrift store that is the perfect size for a throw. I just need to fray the ends :)
I love the things you love !!
I've always loved houndstooth and the use of it in these spaces is so much fun. Love it in the bedroom.
forgot all about houndstooth, you just made it very hip!

I love love the blue and orange color combination! It's brave and so full of life! I would just add a colorful and happy art to go with it :)
LOVING all the houndstooth inspiration! I recently saw a stenciled houndstooth patten on a wall! Amazing!
You can't go wrong with houndstooth! Love it on the back of the dining chairs, so fun!
Really beautiful post!
I have always adored houndstooth jackets, however, never really thought about using it in a rug. Looks great! I love the blue houndstooth with the orange. Great color combination.

I LOVE houndstooth. I recently reupholstered a chair of mine in houndstooth but I'm thinking the scale should've been bigger, like in these photos.
Yep, it's an all-time classic! So masculine and handsome... yummy!
