Gingham Decor: 30 Checkered Pieces for Year-Round Home Style
Gingham, a classic picnic plaid, is making a strong comeback in home decor, according to designer Amber Lewis, who notes its seasonless appeal. Lewis, whose upcoming book 'Interiors' features gingham inspiration, observes an uptick in gingham interiors, especially when paired with other prints. She advises considering scale and color when layering, suggesting upholstery for a bold statement or accessories like tablecloths, bedspreads, and throw pillows for a subtler approach. Vogue's curated list of 30 gingham decor pieces spans bedding, table linens, lampshades, curtains, furniture, and accents. Highlights include gingham bedding sets from Hawkins New York and Simple & Opulence, table linens from Maison D’Hermine, lampshades from The House of Soft Light and Lulu and Georgia, furniture like the Westmont platform bed and Jamie desk chair from Lulu and Georgia, and accents such as the Hailey gingham rug and Ana gingham pillow from Shoppe Amber Interiors. The trend demonstrates gingham's versatility, moving beyond summer wardrobes to year-round home styling.
