Let the sunshine in: Fresh and easy bedroom decor ideas for summer

One of the most refreshing things you can do as a homeowner is to add a few new touches to your bedroom at the turn of the season. Summer is all about turning that cosy sanctuary in which you hibernated into a cool and rejuvenating oasis, helping you sleep better during the hot weather. As leading providers of quality bedroom furniture in Malta, the team at Carmelo Delia shares a few tips below on preparing your bedroom for summer. 

 

1. Summer bedding

Ditch the duvet and build the bedding in light layers, using lightweight throws, coverlets and sheets. Breathable fabrics such as French linen or cotton are great choices, as well as natural bamboo fibre blankets which not only facilitate ventilation through the material, but are also odour-resistant and antibacterial.  

 

2. Pick a cool palette

Apart from completely transforming the style of a room, colours can even make a space feel cooler! Consider beach-inspired hues and patterns to create a coastal theme for your bedroom. Green and turquoise can also evoke a sense of serenity, a welcome respite from the sweltering heat and the busy outdoors. In fact, colours which mimic nature are said to have a calming effect on emotions. 

 

3. Let there be light!

Swap your dark and heavy winter curtains for light, airy alternatives, such as window sheers made of linen or natural cottons. Sheers (or semi-sheers) also help air circulate more freely around the bedroom and keep out the heat, too. However, if you need total darkness to get a good night’s sleep, wooden shutters are the way to go. These reflect the heat out of the room and allow you to adjust just how much light you are willing to let in. 

 

4. Add lots of white accessories

From white towels and throws to white sheets and even little white plant pots, white accessories can easily make a room look crisp and cool, while lending it a summery feel. You can even add some white flowers and white lanterns for some extra lighting during the evening. 

 

5. Create a summery dressing table display

Put that collection of sea-shells you’ve been hoarding for years to good use – put them in a jar and use them to decorate the surface of your dressing table. To embellish the outdoorsy feel even further, grab some flowers and fragrant herbs and place them in some pretty vintage bottles.
