Gingham has been around since the 17th century when it was first imported to Europe from Southeast Asia. The stripe-like pattern is a classic emblematic of French Country interiors and a staple in some farmhouse spaces. In 2025, it's having a major resurgence.
No space better represents the beauty of gingham than Lily Allen's simple kitchen idea. The cream space embraces the French Country style. It has color-drenched ceilings and walls and beautiful moldings. Allen has gray marble countertops and yellow/cream cabinets with gold pulls, bringing a touch of understated glamor. A burgundy gingham dining nook grounds the whole space. Allen's seating area incorporates gingham upholstered chairs and a built-in gingham bench.
