It’s no secret that we love gingham here at Piglet in Bed, and it's clear we're not alone. Since launching our very first gingham bedding, our community’s love for the pattern has only continued to grow.
Part of gingham’s charm lies in its versatility. The classic check pairs beautifully with almost anything, acting as a soft neutral or a bold statement depending on how you style it.
That said, mixing and matching with gingham bedding can feel a little daunting. So, to make things easier, we’re sharing a few simple pointers on how to style gingham bedding, along with some of our favourite bedding combinations for inspiration.
Gingham + Stripes
Gingham and stripes are an easy win. Keep it soft with natural tones, or go for a bit more colour by sticking to one hue and varying the pattern. For a bolder look, pair complementary shades in statement stripes and gingham – stand-out bedding that doesn’t feel over the top.
Pick 1: Mushroom Gingham, Oatmeal Stripe, Oatmeal
Pick 2: Coastal Blue Pembroke Stripe, Honey Gingham, Sage Green, Dusk Blue
Pick 3: Rhubarb Kemptown Stripe, Rhubarb Gingham, Rhubarb
Gingham + Plains
Let gingham take centre stage by pairing it with solid colours. Warm reds, botanical greens or soft, dusky blues are some of our favourites. This combination works especially well with our colour-drenched ginghams, where two complementary hues are woven into one pattern, adding even more depth.
Pick 1: Rhubarb Gingham, Rhubarb
Pick 2: Botanical Green Gingham, Oatmeal, Botanical Green
Pick 3: Fern Green & Dusk Blue Gingham, Dusk Blue, Warm Blue Gingham
Gingham + Florals
Gingham works beautifully with a dainty floral or an all-over botanical print. It can give a soft, romantic feel or a playful vibe, depending on the colours and prints you choose. We like keeping the floral simple and adding two gingham colours for extra interest and personality.
Pick 1: Cinnamon & Peach Gingham, Pearl Posy Bud, Warm Clay
Pick 2: Webbs Blue Double Bough, Fern Green & Dusk Blue Gingham, Fern Green
Pick 3: Sage Green Gingham, Pearl Posy Bud, Elderberry Gingham, Sage Green
Gingham + You
All of our bed linen collections are designed to give you plenty of flexibility and inspiration when mixing colours and fabrics. We love experimenting with different combinations, and our latest collection is no exception.
If you already have a set of bedding, a few cushions or a throw at the end of the bed is an easy way to refresh the look – perfect for changing things up with the season or your mood.
Whether you go all out with gingham or sneak in just a hint beneath the sheets, we love seeing how you make it your own at home!
