Black-and-white checkerboard is both a classic and also everywhere right now — rugs, pillows, mirrors, dishware, and more. What’s great about Moore’s checkered area rug is the fact that it has that trendy motif but is done in a warm brown-and-cream scheme that softens the bold print.

Urban Outfitters currently sells a similar area rug that comes in a variety of different colorways, including one called honey with similar brown tones.
