The Gingham Edit
becoming the design trend du jour? 'In a world of fast furniture, this patterned upholstery is becoming popular because it’s interesting and original,' explains Seed. 'I think it can’t help but feel designer and one-of-a-kind. With clashing patterns becoming all the rage, people are no longer worried about pairing a printed wallpaper with a striped headboard. In fact, I’d say they’re embracing it. It seems that the motto is, "the more pattern, the better."'
trend in your home, you don't have to do everything all at once. A gingham decorative pillow or throw blanket is a great place to begin. Seed states: 'Gingham, particularly greens and reds, seem to be taking off, so keep these colors in mind.

When paired with simple spaces, integrating gingham is a wonderful way to add a touch of visual interest and French country style to any space. Take it from Lily Allen.
