There's something about gingham that feels nostalgic but never dated, meaning it's an eternal favorite among fashion and interior aficionados alike. Martha Stewart, the original influencer, is another example of those unable to resist the pattern's charm, and she's made it easier than ever to tap into the look.
Martha designed a gingham cotton sheet set that's hiding deep on QVC, and, miraculously' it's under $50. My most stylish friends have already introduced gingham into their bedrooms, and Martha's set has just made it possible for me to do the same. Martha's collection is already renowned for some of the best bed sheets on the market, but this patterned piece is my favorite to date.
If you're looking to decorate with gingham in the bedroom, sheets are a natural starting point. Whether you're in a cozy cottage or city apartment, this pattern is uniquely versatile, and you can sleep well knowing it's made to last (since it carries Martha's good name, I'm sure it's a product you can trust).

Gingham already comes with an endorsement from Martha Stewart, but design experts are giving us another reason to make the investment. Starting with the patterns' timelessness.
'Gingham is one of those enduring patterns that never really goes out of style. This simple check design brings a sense of warmth and comfort that fits beautifully into both traditional and more contemporary interiors,' comments Debbie Leigh, the design manager at ILIV.
'In the bedroom, gingham can create a calm and nostalgic atmosphere, especially when used thoughtfully as part of a wider colour and texture scheme.'
The pattern itself is always a safe option, but Debbie notes that we should be mindful of choosing the right colors for our bedrooms. Thankfully, many of Martha's designs tap into her advice perfectly.
'Soft, earthy tones such as warm creams, gentle greens, pastel blues or dusky pinks pair exceptionally well with gingham, helping the pattern feel subtle and timeless rather than bold or overpowering,' she says.
'Opting for a slightly faded or muted gingham print can also soften the look and give it a more relaxed, lived-in feel.'
