Give your bedroom a new look, a new look, celebrate summer, and enjoy a great weekend morning’s sleep. Whether you’re looking to tweak a few small details or start a major overhaul in your bedroom, we hope these eight ideas inspire the changes you want.
Knotted doorstops, vases with freshly cut flowers, soft fringed throws and coffee trays add just the right finishing touch to your bedroom and make you feel pampered.
Styling tip: Two large pillows in European sizes with the right pillowcase can make the bed look more sophisticated and can help you support yourself in bed for reading. These plus your regular pillow are all you really need.
Lightweight textured materials such as rattan, wicker, and bamboo are perfect for summer furniture. The small table here offers hidden storage space and plenty of room for bedside reading and flowers.
Styling tip: Choose a earthy bedspread or a light-coloured quilt in natural tones. Keep the rest of the décor clean and simple for a relaxed and lively look.
If your floor is already badly worn, why not paint it to give it a new look? White is airy and fresh, while dark colors, such as the blue used here, look cool and inviting in the summer.
Styling tip: Keep the layered patterns arranged by making sure all the patterns are in a common color.
Men and women seem to enjoy this color scheme equally, so it’s perfect for sharing spaces. The rich navy blue paint on the walls is the perfect complement to the light blue and white striped bedding.
Styling secret: mix stripes! As long as they share the same color palette, mixing wide and narrow stripe fabrics looks richer and more fun than a single set of stripes.
Showpieces for the season can be as simple as placing some nice vintage bottles and a jar of shells on your dresser. Change the presentation by placing new flowers or dried flowers, herbs, or seed pods in the bottle every week.
Styling tip: Look for a beachside-themed old book with a nice cover at the yard thrift sale and flea market. Not only do these vintage treasures look lovely stacked on a shelf, but they can bring a refreshing twist to the current bookstore’s merchandise.
Immerse yourself in a romantic country inn with rough wood, soft sheets, and chunky blankets. A trace of frills around the edge of the pillowcase or bed skirt brings the log into a softer area.
Styling tip: This style pays the most attention to texture. Use your hands and eyes when choosing what to add to your space.
A round nautical-inspired mirror hanging above the bed, coupled with a beautiful summer coffee table book, will bring a touch of summer vibes to your bedroom.
Styling tip: The pale sea bubble green bedding looks sophisticated against the dark wood bed frame. Transparent glass lights make the space feel bright.
Whitewashed wood-paneled walls, iron bed frames, and rustic linen bedding create a fresh cottage look that makes you feel right at home.
Styling tip: When wall space is low, ditch typical bedside lamps in favor of wall-mounted wall lights.
