PSA: this checked trend isn’t just for your grandma’s kitchen tablecloth anymore. Gingham’s back and it’s giving us all the cottage core feels. The century-old design is a favourite with our team here at Swyft, so we’ve rounded up some of our top gingham homeware picks for you to get this square situation sorted.

Linen Pillowcases Pair / Piglet In Bed

We’re a little bit obsessed with these gingham linen pillowcases from our friends over at Piglet In Bed, shown here on Swyft Bed 02. Combining these with a contrasting block colour duvet, or even another shade of gingham really brightens up the bedroom for summer. Lovely stuff.
