Whether it's a bold, caf̩-style tablecloth or a barely there beige cushion, gingham is endlessly versatile, classic but contemporary, cosy and comforting Рall at the same time. Can you resist the lure of this magnetic material?

Colour-block your background
Explore gingham's graphic quality for striking décor with a classic twist. Here, royal blue walls and a chartreuse headboard provide bold block colour, while white bedding and a matching bedside table stop the scheme from becoming too busy.
What goes with indigo blue?
Make a statement
For a more stimulating sleep space, cherry red accents and a gingham quilt feel fun and festive. Keep your eyes peeled for vintage bedding at car-boot sales and flea markets, or buy fabric online and make your own simple bedspread.
Give a nod to nostalgia
Gingham's a classic choice for children's bedrooms, recalling the romance of the past while still feeling up to date.
Pale, duck-egg blue checks make a fab foil for contrasting prints in tonal colours, and look crisp against white bed linen as well. Add an unexpected bright accessory for colour-pop cool.
Complement refined dining
Convinced gingham is for rustic interiors only? Think again. Pale upholstered chairs are an elegant choice in this dramatic dining room.
Larger checks make a statement – the scale of the pattern holds its own against bold accessories and even an elaborate wall mural.
Refresh your sleep space
Pale gingham needn't be twee when layered with similar light colours and airy prints.
This chic country bedroom features small hints of the classic pattern paired with blue-grey floral wallpaper and neutral carpets for a tonal effect that's soft and fresh.
Update a classic
Give modern country style a go with a classic gingham tablecloth in an unexpected zingy colour. This cute kitchen uses lively lime green fabrics on the blinds and table to lift plain cabinetry and play off the rainbow-coloured crockery collection.
Try a retro refit
Craving a kitsch kitchen? Up the fun factor with a gingham-print laminate table. You can find original midcentury gems in second-hand shops or make your own with a trusty roll of easy-to-find gingham sticky-back plastic. Really retro.
Do gender neutral décor
When you're preparing for a new arrival but don't know the sex of the baby (or don't want to decorate accordingly), choosing gender-neutral décor can be a challenge.
Luckily, gingham combines effortlessly with other playful prints for a fun, layered look that will work for you and your baby.
Be berry inspired
If your neutral kitchen needs a little lift, gingham curtains will work their warming magic on your cook space. These floor-length raspberry drapes complement the cream kitchen and provide a neat colour match to the showpiece red Aga.
