Gingham is having a moment—and it’s easy to understand why. Though it’s back in vogue, gingham has always felt timeless. Its simple checks bring a sense of comfort and a touch of nostalgia that pairs beautifully with a variety of styles.

I often use gingham around our home. It reads as playful and cozy, while also working seamlessly with stripes, botanicals, and other classic patterns. Even a small gingham accent can transform a room, softening modern lines or emphasizing a cottage-like warmth.

Today I’m sharing a Style Crush on gingham. Some of the pieces pictured are in our home; others are things I’m dreaming about. Whether it’s a pillow, a tablecloth, or a slipcover, gingham makes a subtle but charming statement.

Enjoy these ideas and consider how a bit of gingham might refresh your space.
