How To Create a Fresh Summer Bedroom-Guest Post



Our bedrooms are the one room in our homes where we spend the most amount of time. They are our sanctuaries, a place to relax, reflect and ultimately get the much needed sleep we deserve. With summer finally here, it is time to draw back our curtains, pack away our winter duvets and look towards to those fresh summer changes we can make.

It doesn’t matter how big or small adding in some light will take, it is worth every penny spent. Consider the months of waking up to the sunlight, the smell of fresh linens and the softness of a new pillow, nothing could be better. So with this in mind, here are some great ways you can bring in some summer touches to your bedrooms.

Let the Light In

One of the most important aspects to any bedroom has got to be creating darkness at night time and letting the sunlight in during the morning. This is a tricky balance to get right as many curtains either keep all the natural light out, or they are too thin for a peaceful night’s sleep. The balance is therefore obvious; curtains need to be created from a thick enough fabric to create peace at night, but unlined to let in the summer sunshine.

This pair of curtains is just one of the many types of curtains available, but they are perfect for a summertime bedroom. Made from Canvas, they are thick enough to keep out unwanted glare in the summer nights and man made fibers are always great in terms of style, too. This pair of curtains comes in a multitude of colors so you will find something that suits your decor.

Bring the Outside Inside

Florals are one of the biggest interior design trends this season and thus they deserve to be added into our beautiful bedrooms. This is one of the design tips that really won't cost you a fortune, but will easily change the way your room functions. There are many ways that we can bring in florals, through actual physical flowers in neatly arranged vases, to wallpaper. One of the neatest, most unique ways, has got to be floral bedding.

This set is perfect for warm summer nights. Light in color and pattern, it won't look too heavy or busy. Quite often busy patterns can keep us awake, when we don’t want to be. This subtle pattern and neutral tones add in the summer without distracting from our rest.


Summer Furniture

Want to make some big changes this year? Well there is never a better time than now to begin looking at changing your furniture. Furniture shouldn’t be seasonal, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t represent some of the innate beauty that summer brings. The best place to start is by looking for lighter woods or veneers. Whites, beiges and creams are by far the most common shades for their sheer versatility. Much like your curtains, there are many furniture styles available. Take the humble wardrobe as an example. You can find wardrobes at Littlewoods.com and you can see the sheer mount available to your home. A perfect summer version is this wardrobe, from the Charlotte collection. It offers your bedroom light, space for those precious clothes and will fit in with the majority of existing decors.
