There’s no doubt that uncertain times have led to nostalgic homewares trends and we are very much here for the latest one. Having eschewed any hokey associations, courtesy of a variety of contemporary reimaginings, gingham is back in the style spotlight in a major way. Akin to the little black dress of bedding, gingham bed linen is a timeless, versatile look that suits most spaces.
Castle & Things: From bedding to cushions and blankets (in small and large scale gingham designs) we absolutely love this range and its glorious rainbow colour palette. From $49.
That baby blue gingham is super fresh
Navy and white gingham is a bonafide classic
The oversized check is a statement making look
Linen House: Available in gorgeous neutral colour ways (black, caramel and stone), the classic and versatile Springsteen range can be mixed and matched and is made from soft, washed cotton. From $59.99.
Sheet Society: The brand’s checkerboard range is available in mini and mega designs in sage green, blush and beige. We absolutely adore the mix of small and large scale prints. From $50.
The combination of small and large scale checks is such a modern look
Adairs: With a colour range that covers the entire spectrum, Adairs has certainly embraced the check trend. From $69.99.

Kip & Co: The brand’s Tuscan gingham design, combining an unlikely pairing of deep green and peach, is a statement making look. The range is made from French flax linen. From $45.
Society of Wanderers: From lilac gingham to a bold green and gold and a fuchsia and red check, this gingham range is not for the faint hearted. We love the ruffle detail and we love the range mixed and matched. From $99.
Mix and match bedding tips from Kip & Co
It’s the time of year where we’re all adding extra layers to our beds for warmth but the more we add, the harder it can be to achieve a cohesive…
Sheet Society have a fresh new spring collection and we’re mad for it. It’s fresh, tactile and a great mood lifter as we leave behind the colder weather and (soon enough) lockdowns, welcoming some holiday vibes into our homes.
We’re loving the uplifting spring colours in The Sheet Society’s Spring range
“Inspired by picnic pandemonium and dreams of faraway places, we created a capsule that feels transportive and light. Retro resort-like colour palettes that instantly supercharge and uplift our moods as we wave goodbye to the cooler months. It’s escapism for your bedroom,” says CEO Hayley Worley.
The reversible, breathable Goldie Gauze in Butter and subtly contrasting Burnt Butter
An innovative new textural offering, Goldie Gauze is a reversible, tactile quilt cover that was made for lightweight feels and versatility. Goldie is produced using 100% cotton yarns to create a light, open weave that produces the cloth-like finish. It’s made from three separate layers of gauze tacked together to softly layer up the density of the finished fabric.
Goldie Gauze is reversible in two different hues, and has a lovely, textural look and feel.
“The ultimate benefits of this fabric are its breathability and natural fibre origins, making it a perfect trans seasonal product,” says Hayley.
The spring capsule is made up of tried-and-tested ranges that regular Sheet Society customers know and love, infused with new sun-kissed colours. The two newest colourways include Sky and Musk, which look great alongside Soft Apricot, Chocolate, Camel and Butter from bedspreads past.
New solid colours in the Eden range include Sky (above) and Musk (below)
Alongside these solids comes a much-anticipated release of gingham print (we can’t get enough of gingham at Interiors Addict!).The resurgence of the long-adored gridded style was first seen on the runway, and is now increasingly making its way into our homes too.
We love this smaller, more modern take on the classic gingham, shown here in Sky
And while we’re talking classics, stripes of course never get old. Sheet Society have two new Leo washed cotton stripe colours too; we particularly love the Camel (below).
Each piece of bedding, whether it’s a sheet, quilt cover, or pillowcase is made with a quality yarn composition of breathable, 100% natural fibres. The flat sheet even comes with a sewn-in 20cm double layer, so there’s no need to fold them back either.
Two new Eve linen colours are the beautiful Cocoa (above) and Tan (below) chambrays.
“We know that traditionally, people have been frustrated with their bedding, and this increases tenfold in the Australian summer. Making your bed can be a notoriously arduous task, but we believe quality fabrication and tactful detailing can put an end to that. We want your bedding to be more dream-worthy, less of a nightmare, especially after a long winter of waiting for brighter days,” says Hayley.
I know, I know, when it comes to gingham it’s difficult to disassociate it with early school days. My first school uniform was made from the distinctive check and, proving its longevity, my daughter is now wearing it to class too. There’s no doubt that it’s a design classic, but we’re loving the latest gingham homewares.
Pottery Barn gingham salad plate: Available in sailor blue, sky blue and yellow these plates would be fabulous styled back with basic white. $12 each.
Langdon Ltd large gingham cushion: Handwoven in India, the best part about this design is the silver metallic thread that gives the check a modern update. $175.
Sabre garden green spreader: Perfect for the cheese board, and a French classic, there’s something very fun about this zesty spreader. $19.
Hi folks. Sorry I’ve neglected this weekly roundup while I’ve been overseas!
I have developed a love of floral artworks lately and this limited edition Waratah print from Lamai Anne is rather gorgeous. Lamai, who loves drawing Australian natives, brings her illustrations to life with her digital art. Her work began its upward spiral when her first fabric collection was showcased through Robert Kaufman. She has since worked with companies such as Adairs and Hallmark cards. From $135.
Clearly I’m rather partial to the native flora myself! Maybe it’s because I’m from England where the flowers are so very different (yet equally lovely)? I’ve always loved Utopia Goods and their latest collection, The Native Classics, is as gorgeous as ever. The Waratah and Eucalypt designs are my favourites. Aussie as. In the best possible way!
Something else you can never have enough touches of (when done right) in my opinion, is leopard print! This Society of Wanderers print on French linen is just perfect and comes as table and bed linen. Whether you go for napkins or Euro pillowcases, this touch of animal print will look great in your home. Trust me! Buy online via Greenhouse Interiors.
I seem to be all about textiles this week, don’t I?! I feel like gingham is making a comeback and I’m loving it! I’m currently in the UK and gingham is all over the high street in clothing. How good are these charcoal pillowcases from the new The Pillowslip Store? I feel like you could easily mix and match them to great effect, even if you kept your doona cover plain. I do enjoy a more layered, mix and match bed look in the cooler months. $35 each in 100% cotton.
