In brief
Chintz patterns, once a White House staple, are making a comeback with a chic twist for 2027. Chintz decor, inspired by Jackie Kennedy's White House floral patterns, is experiencing a stylish resurgence for 2027. Originally reported by Homesandgardens.
Chintz's White House Roots
Jackie Kennedy ordered floral chintz for the White House's Orange Blossom Bedroom in 1961.
“The familiar floral once drenched every inch of the 'Orange Blossom Bedroom' in the White House, ordered by none other than First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.”
Chintz's Modern Revival
Design studio Fettle revived chintz for The Stoneleigh hotel's Presidential Suite in March 2026.
“In March, chintz got another kind of presidential treatment at Dallas’s second-oldest hotel, The Stoneleigh, where London- and LA-based studio Fettle swathed the Presidential Suite’s headboard, drapery, and lavish baldachin in a signature Lee Jofa chintz.”
Designers' Favorite Patterns
Interior designer Tamsyn Mason calls Soane's Rose Mallow a forever favorite chintz pattern.
“I always think small-scale patterns can conjure a wonderful sense of familiarity and nostalgia, particularly because they remind us of more traditional prints that were often created by hand using woodblocks.”
Where to Shop Chintz
GreenRow, Anthropologie, Brooklinen, and West Elm offer chintz-inspired decor for 2027.
“There's still plenty of room for those traditionally punchy florals at GreenRow’s and Anthropologie’s perennial garden party, while Brooklinen takes a more abstract approach to decorating with pattern with its pressed-poppy duvet and West Elm’s reversible rugs favor more muted blooms.”
Chintz's 2027 Trend
Chintz decor is shaking off its 'trad' status as a 2027 interior design trend.
“Glossy in the front, matte in the back, chintz, the botanically inspired, cottagecore 'polished cotton,' has quite the pedigree and, for the first time in decades, this interior design trend is finally shaking its 'trad' status as we head into 2027.”
Chintz's Future
Chintz patterns will continue to inspire home decor trends through 2027.
“The whole 'grandma' floral as a fresh thing is antithetical, but it’s been happening, and chintz might just be its final boss.”
Here's the gist
Chintz decor, inspired by Jackie Kennedy's White House floral patterns, is experiencing a stylish resurgence for 2027.
