Dressing beds for different seasons is the key to keeping your bedroom decor fresh and fabulous. In addition to aesthetic benefits, preparing bedding for summer will allow you to have cool, comfortable sleep through hot nights. Take a look below to learn how to outfit a bed for summer.
Get a great deal. Buy seasonal bedding off-season for the best bedroom bargains.
Consider cotton. For maximum comfort in the heat, think light linen or cotton. These sheets can bring a summery feel to bedding.
Think about white bedding. White or light-colored bedding gives you many options, as these neutral colors allow you to switch accessories with ease. Embroidered and laced linens can add accent to plain sheets. Include pillow shams and throw pillows in pastel shades for a light look.
Use a a lightweight duvet. Store your heavy duvet for the season and use a lighter weight dowm comforter, one with a fill power below 600.
Add flourishes. Throw some unique pillows or shams worthy of display on the bed. Just don't go overboard; too much bedding during the summer can lead to hot, uncomfortable nights.
