Modern Checkered Classroom Decor Theme

For this theme, I chose a warm color palette to go with the checkered patterns. These inviting tones really compliment the design and keep it from being overly stimulating. I also included solid color blocks and even some stripes for even more visual appeal.

This is such fun decor to accessorize! This window pane border from Creative Teaching Press is the perfect accompaniment to this checkered theme. It’s subtle yet on point. And these pink and white checkered throw pillows would make an adorable addition to your classroom reading corner! Another cozy accent piece for this them is a lightweight checkered throw blanket. There are so many options out there!
