Our tartan love affair deepens

It's all about Andy Murray this month as the Wimbledon hopeful brings Scots appeal to Centre Court. The tartan trend took the catwalk by storm earlier this year, and now the highland favourite is making its mark on the home. Plaid is the hot topic du jour.

1. The story so far...

Ever since Agyness Deyn sashayed down the catwalk clad head–to–toe in neon tartan for Henry Holland, the plaid revival has been unstoppable. Dolce & Gabanna and Just Cavalli swiftly jumped on the band waggon and it wasn't long before tartan hit the home. Think Dutch design guru Marcel Wanders' hot pink Audrey wallpaper. Now everyone's getting in on the action, re–inventing the traditional pattern in fresh colour ways and unusual applications. Osborne & Little's Lomond check is perfect for giving stylish new life to your sofa or cushions.

The designers may love it- but no amount of persuading is going to make me a fan of the tartan trend. I mean honestly, with connotations of highland shortbread or American golfers it can hardly be the height of cool!

I love tartan! Something about it is always so fresh even though it such a traditional print. I would love to totally tartan my home, especially with the modern pink colours. x
