During these cold, dark mornings, many of us will be looking forward to brighter days in the spring and summer.
If you want to get ahead of schedule and brighten up your bedroom beforehand, then a new set of bedding might cheer you up, with one particular gingham set from Dunelm being quite the hit with shoppers.
The home retailer’s new Portloe Woven Gingham Duvet Set is currently one of the most popular options on offer. It’s also fairly affordable, with prices costing between £30-£50 for bed sizes ranging from a single to super king.

The highlight of this set is the classic gingham pattern that shoppers have called “charming” and “cheery”. It’s also a reversible design, with a plain background on the flip-side, offering up a two-in-one design.
Both the duvet cover and matching pillowcases have been crafted from a 100 per cent cotton material that has been pre-washed for that “extra softness” feel. Both its design and feel is said to offer “luxurious comfort with a nostalgic, yet chic style.”
It also features secure button closures that keeps your duvet securely in place during the night. Meanwhile, the breathable material of the Portloe set means that it is an ideal choice for getting a restful sleep all year round.
Currently available in a range of colourways, this gingham bedding set has received an impressive 4.6 rating from enthusiastic shoppers who say they “love” it so much and that they “struggle” to get out of bed in the morning.
One five-star review read: “Absolutely loved this bed set, so crisp looking with a relaxing and charming feel to it. Matched the set with a green feature wall, cushions and throws. I think the whole effect looks great.”
A second shopper remarked: “Who does love a bit of gingham and this beautiful summer sun yellow is perfect to keep any room cheery.”
Someone else praised: “Love these sheets so much. Originally bought the green but couldn’t resist a second set in the lilac. Really on trend and at an affordable price.” And another happy customer added: “Very comfortable and warm – makes getting out of bed a struggle though!”
Some reviews have criticised the quality of the material, however, with one disappointed shopper writing: “Not the best quality. Well made, thin cloth, but fair price.”
Dunelm’s Portloe Woven Gingham Duvet Set can be bought in nine colours for £30-£50 here.
Fans of the nostalgic pattern style can also purchase a similar option from Next with the retailer’s Natural Gingham Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set, priced from £12-£30. If the colour you were looking for from Dunelm is out of stock, then you can also get this Sleepdown set for £12.92 from Amazon.
