All of the beds in Goldilocks and The Three Bears were made with gingham linens—at least in the version I recall. Which makes sense: this classic check is reliably homey for adult and child-size setups. With caveats: so often gingham bedding is too cute. Or it’s too bold.
But when the details are in harmony, gingham is just right, especially for wintry nights. Here are seven standout versions. Add your own bedtime story.
