Gingham is having a moment—and it’s easy to see why. Though it’s trending again, gingham has long been a timeless pattern that brings warmth and character to any space.

I often use gingham in our home because it feels both nostalgic and playful. It layers beautifully with stripes and botanical prints, adding a soft, familiar touch without feeling fussy.

Today I’m sharing a Style Crush on gingham. Some of the pieces shown are already in our home, and others are items I love and admire. Even a small gingham accent—like a throw pillow, tablecloth, or curtain—can instantly add charm and personality to a room.

Enjoy these ideas and inspiration for bringing gingham into your decor.
