Inspired by History: How George Washington’s Dining Hall Inspired the Foxglove Check Pattern

George Washington’s Mount Vernon dining hall isn’t just a relic—it’s a study in symmetry, order, and quiet elegance. The space, with its measured geometry and intentional design, became the inspiration for our Diamond Checkered wallpaper series.

The pattern draws from the room’s rhythmic structure—clean lines, balanced proportions, and a sense of restrained sophistication. Just like Washington himself, the design is both strong and understated.

Each colorway reflects a mood of the era: navy and ivory suggest military formality, sage and tobacco brown echo Virginia’s countryside, and onyx with parchment calls back to candlelit gatherings and early diplomacy.
