With the arrival of longer days and warmer weather, it’s the perfect opportunity to give your bedroom a summer makeover.
We’ve gathered some of our best suggestions for refreshing your space, offering both aesthetic touches and practical updates for the season.
Transition to Lighter Bedding Those heavy, warm duvets are indispensable during the chilly months, but come summer, it’s time to switch to lighter bedding.
For those balmy nights, a summer duvet around 4.5 tog is ideal, though a 7.5 tog can still be comfortable for those who prefer a bit more heft. Be sure to peek at our duvet tog guide for detailed insights. Opt for covers made from breathable materials like cotton or linen to ensure cool, restful sleep during the warm season.
Inject Color with Accessories You don’t need a complete overhaul to liven up your bedroom—just a few bright accessories can add the zest of summer to your space.
Consider replacing your subdued winter bedspread with one that’s more vibrant. For a touch of brightness while maintaining a neutral bed, add a few throw pillows in bold hues.
Invite the Outdoors In
Savor the Essence of Summer Indoors. As summer unfolds with its vibrant hues and fresh scents, why not mirror nature’s splendor within your bedroom walls?
Incorporate Greenery for a Natural Touch If you relish the time spent amidst nature’s bounty, consider introducing a hint of greenery to your bedroom. Plants not only inject vitality into your decor but also bring along a bounty of wellness benefits.
Placing a vase of fresh flowers on a nightstand or dressing table infuses your space with dynamic colors and fragrances that can elevate your mood. And as we’ve explored before, certain plants like jasmine or lavender can have a soothing effect, promoting a more restful sleep, while others like the snake plant enhance air quality for better breathing and relaxation.
Embark on a Summer Decor Project While small changes are quick wins, summer might also inspire you to undertake a more significant decor overhaul.
Whether you’re contemplating a new wallpaper pattern or planning to brighten walls with paint, aim for a palette that resonates with the season’s upbeat energy.
And when choosing new paint colors, consider their impact on sleep. A Travelodge study suggests that hues like blue, yellow, and green contribute to longer sleep durations, while purple and grey may be less conducive to rest.
Upgrade for Cooler Comfort Just as you replace thick duvets with lighter ones, consider using the season as a reason to refresh your mattress, especially if you’re in search of one that stays cool on warm nights.
Our innovative mattress selection, like the Octaspring range, merges the comfort of memory foam with the support of springs, ensuring breathability and a restful sleep during summer’s warmth. Transitioning to one of these mattresses could be the change you need for the perfect summer slumber.
