It's no secret that fashion can inform interiors, and vice versa, so when we saw a recent photo of Olivia Rodrigo, we couldn't help but be reminded of a trend that seems to be everywhere, both in the fashion and design landscapes.

The pop star was photographed wearing a gingham, red-and-white dress to Wimbledon, and the summer-appropriate look is just as playful and decorative in the home. In fact, design experts say that this pattern is perfect for the warmer months of the year.

'My favorite colors and prints for spring and summer include stripes and gingham in pastel shades of blue, green, and yellow, mixed together to reflect the rise in dopamine decor that we’re seeing again in the home,' explains Rhiannon Masters, Interior Designer and Head of Brand at Piglet in Bed.

'The concept of decorating your house to reflect the happy feeling of the summer months coming in is one I enjoy and like to adopt in my own home.'

A staple in cottagecore and modern farmhouse aesthetics, this 17th-century print works well as a print for statement pieces, like sofas or accent chairs, as well as smaller accessories, like lampshades, blankets, and pillows.

Additionally, you can get experimental with the colorings of plaid pieces, going for primary colors like Olivia's bold red, or take a muted approach with soft neutrals and pastels.

Below, we have rounded up some of our top picks to get the summery look. However, these pieces will look just as beautiful in the fall and beyond.
