Five Summer Styling Tips for Your Bedroom

The official start of summer is just around the corner. That means it’s time to start thinking about the best furniture and decor to transform your bedroom into a summer oasis of style and comfort! Cleo’s Furniture wants to be your summer styling destination, uplifting your space and freshening up your style. Let’s take a look at five summer styling tips to transform your bedroom into a chic summer living space.

Lighten Up with Breathable Fabrics

Heavier fabrics like wool, flannel, or fleece are great for those cooler spring months. However, when summer arrives, you want to change heavy bedding with lighter, breathable fabrics. For hotter weather, linen, breathable cotton, or bamboo sheets and comforters are much better at keeping you light and comfortable during warm summer nights.

White linen sheets are lightweight and breathable and look stylish in any bedroom. You can also add a tinge of color with pastel hues. These colors do a great job of adding an airy, relaxed atmosphere that feels cool and refreshing.

But if you still need a little warmth, you can always add a lovely quilt or lightweight throw blanket on top of your sheets for added comfort and texture without overheating your bed.

Bring the Outdoors In

Natural elements can be incorporated into any bedroom to freshen up your space and deliver the essence of summer nights into your sleep pad. Potted plants are a great way to bring the outdoors in and add a touch of greenery to your bedroom. And plants aren’t just stylish additions; they are also great for freshening up the air in your sleeping space and helping you sleep better! If you’re not ready for natural plants, you can also boost your bedroom’s greenery without live plants. Look for sheets, comforters, or duvet covers with viney or leafy green patterns to make your room “green” without the maintenance that comes with live houseplants.

Play with Bright Accents

Bright accents can transform your bedroom from plain to eclectic and exciting. By injecting pops of color into your space, you can reflect summer’s lively and energetic spirit into your home. Consider adding throw pillows, small seating options, or new curtains in bright blues, citrusy oranges, or sunshine yellows to your bedroom. 

You can also add bright accents to your bedroom with a new piece of furniture! Consider the Antique White One Door Stand in multiple finishes and colors. It’s great for storing small items and can double as a plant stand if you want to experiment with bringing the outdoors in.

Declutter for a Serene Retreat

You’ve heard of spring cleaning, but the decluttering doesn’t have to end when the months get warmer. Decluttering your bedroom space can create a sense of sanctuary and serenity in your new summer bedroom. A minimalist approach to your bedroom decor and furniture means removing unnecessary clutter. But it can also include adding a new piece of bedroom furniture to store items you’ve let pile up in your closet or floor! The Amber Bedroom Group has multiple chest options that are the perfect size for storing clothing, jewelry, or bedroom knick-knacks.

Maximize Natural Light

Longer summer days mean more abundant sunlight. So why not use the natural lighting and let it pour into your bedroom? Remove some of the heavy drapes or blinds you had up to keep the warmth in during winter and consider sheer curtains or shades. These lighter options allow natural light to filter through while providing bedroom privacy.

You can also use a little mirror trick to add brightness to your bedroom. Position any mirrors in your space to reflect the natural light and make your bedroom appear brighter and more expansive than it is. One more piece of advice for adding natural light? Rearrange your furniture to optimize your light flow and reveal covered windows.
