Upholstered Chairs
₹605
If you've been planning to upholster your old chairs, we suggest going with gingham fabric. It would be one of the most stunning ways to bring a fresh vibe to the space. Influencer Jenny has used the soft red gingham pattern paired with an ottoman to create a welcoming and cosy ambience. It makes for a statement summer piece, adding a classic old-French feel with a bit of cottage core vibe.
Curtains
₹1325
Changing soft furnishings is an obvious and easy way to instantly spruce up your space. Curtains are one of the easiest picks and will add the perfect touch of colour to your living room this summer. Use cotton fabric to let a little bit of light in, and watch the red in the pattern come to life.

Cushions are low-commitment, fun, economical and super easy to work with when it comes to incorporating a new home trend! A gingham cushion would be the cutest thing to add to your sofa set to make the arrival of summer known. We recommend adding them in contrast with a solid sofa set to let the brightness of the pattern shine. We especially love how Katie Nixon has added a hint of coquette with four adorable bows.
Lamps
₹17980
We understand that buying a lamp means buying something that will stay for years to come, which is why lamps are often thought of as last when it comes to seasonal makeovers. However, you best believe you won't regret buying a gingham one as it's more than a trend. It's a classic pattern that doesn't go out of style even when no one's talking about it. We have taken inspiration from Avalon Home that will have your reading nook transformed.
Trinkets & Bowls

If you're working with a small space or want to keep your surroundings minimal, we suggest going for a trinket or a bowl. We have been on an active hunt for one not only because it looks aesthetic (trust us, our Pinterest feeds are a testament) but also because it's pretty handy and functional. Since it's a small addition, you can easily add it to any area of your home.
Tablecloth
₹2600
When nothing else fits, go for the classic and trusty tablecloth! This idea is perfect if you have a little garden or a garden table on your balcony. Deck it with a solid gingham-patterned tablecloth, and have your English tea breaks or breakfast there. This idea is classic and fun while being easily replicable.
