Looking for a classic, preppy pattern that brings charm to every space, from the nursery to the kitchen? Gingham checks all these boxes and more. Originating in Asia, the English “gingham” takes its name from the Malaysian word genggang, meaning striped. Perfectly symmetrical and square, the pattern brings a sense of order that is casual and cheerful at the same time. And although it has been around for a handful of centuries, it’s certain you’ll see gingham for years to come as it continues to make its way from picnic tables and button-down shirts to modern-day upholstered furnishings, wallpaper, and home accessories.
