Celebrate summer by giving your bedroom a seasonal look. Let these easy-to-achieve ideas spark your imagination for a summer bedroom that is uplifting and brimming with summer vibes.
1. A summer colour palette
A colour scheme works wonders in setting the tone of a bedroom. For the summer months, choose muted, neutral colours with lots of white, cream, beige, earthy shades and pale grey. Lighter colours bring out a sense of a breezy summer bedroom with lots of light while reminding us of sandy beaches. Lighter, neutral colours also go hand in hand with this year’s popular interior design style, Japandi.
But you need not banish bright colours either. White bedlinen and lighter curtains provide an excellent backdrop for a pop of colour, be it this year’s trendy yellow, Aztec prints, or your favourite blue hues.
To get the look, think of white bed linen, white accessories, ceramic decorative pieces, and cushions to bring a pop of colour.
Décor need not cost a fortune either; a bowl of lemons on a nightstand is all it takes to add that summery touch. Keep it minimal too – clutter easily disrupts the harmony of a summer bedroom!
2. Texture and fabrics perfect for the summer
This summer’s interior design trends aren’t just about the look of things – texture plays a huge part too. As the year’s trends continue to favour natural fibres, soft textures, and sustainable materials, draw from nature when it comes to texture.
Natural fabrics like linen and cotton are breathable and lighter for the summer months. Why not add a little Cottagecore into your summer bedroom with linen embroideries and sheer curtains?
Woven finishes, boucle upholstery, rattan, wicker, and wood finishes are also popular interior design trends this summer. Consider joining rattan blinds with your sheer curtains, or add texture to your summer bedroom with cushions, throws, rugs or even lampshades.
3. Bring nature indoors
The turbulent last year and lockdowns made many of us turn to the garden to care for our plant babies. Plants, flowers and grass décor is hence continuing to rise in popularity this summer.
