Affordable Bedroom Redecorating for Summer

Summer may be off to a slow start for much of the country. However, many of us are still ready to shake off the winter doom and gloom and start enjoying all that’s thrilling about this time of year. Moreover, just because the weather outside remains grey and chilly doesn’t mean you have to keep up the cold weather color scheme indoors. On the contrary, summer is a perfect time to lighten up your bedding while adding some exciting touches to a space. The good news is you don’t have to spend a fortune to give your bedroom a smart summer revamp. Leaders in luxury comforter sets without the designer price tag, Latest Bedding offers a wide selection of bedroom decor perfect for all seasons. Keep reading to discover some of our top tips on making over your space for the long hot days ahead.   

Fresh and Fun Hues

If your summer is off to a slow start, consider brightening things up with a budget-friendly bedroom makeover. We love the idea of swapping out that heavy winter comforter with something a little brighter. Take for example our Bebejan Maia Blue Comforter Set. Featuring 230 thread count 100 percent cotton sateen, this lightweight collection showcases dazzling hues like blue, blush, and terracotta. Plus, the oversized flower pattern is perfect for bringing the outside in and improving your mood. And with a subtle terracotta rose reverse side, you have options should you feel like a change. As a bonus, this stylish set comes complete with two pillow shams featuring zipper closures, two decorative pillows, and a bonus bag for easy storage. 

Prefer a more classic look for the change of seasons? Embrace a traditional coastal palette with sheets and comforter sets in colors like beige, grey, white, and ocean blue. You can accent more neutral hues with pops of bold summer shades like raspberry, mint green, or navy. 

Cool as Air Bedding

That heavy down or polyester comforter might be perfect for frozen winter nights. However, as the temperature heats up outside, most of us prefer a lighter weight bedding option. Linen and cotton are natural choices for summer bedding due to their durability and breathability. We’re especially fond of Bebejan’s line of 100 percent cotton sateen comforters, as the three over, one under weave feels fresh as silk against sleepers’ skin. For a bedding option that looks as cool as it sleeps, consider the Bebejan Echo White Reversible Comforter Set. At once elegant and modern, this collection gets extra style points thanks to the digitally printed charcoal, ivory, and gold stripe pattern. (Note that the reverse side features tonal allover ivory/grey mini medallions for when you need a change in routine.) Along with a cozy comforter, this set includes two reversible shams and two decorative pillows. Pair the collection with your favorite sheets in classic white or bold dark grey.

Want to make your room feel even more fresh and airy? Accent your new bedding with some rustic baskets and potted plants. Feel free to opt for silk greenery if you don’t have a talent for gardening.

New Throw Pillows (And Blankets)

Who ever said making over your master bedroom had to be expensive? Upgrading your throw pillows is one of the most affordable yet effective ways to give your space a fresh look for summer. While some shoppers opt to buy all new pillows, others choose to swap out just the covers. Whatever way you go, the results will be dramatic. For a fun summer style, we love the idea of incorporating pieces with a cottagecore feel. In other words, opt for a style that calls to mind the aesthetic of a charming cabin set deep in the countryside. Hallmarks of this look include florals and prints featuring plants. Prefer something a little more classic? Pinstripes and chambrays are synonymous with summer, as are watery shades such as blue, green, navy, and grey. 

Savvy home decorators know that summer is a great time to have fun with your style. To that end, you can feel free to incorporate some playful pillows, such as this turtle throw. At once whimsical and fashion-forward, the Donna Sharp piece comes from the Summer Surf Bedding Collection and is made from 100 percent thick cotton for strength. Already have enough throw pillows? A lightweight throw blanket is perfect for afternoon naps on warm days. Consider this Millie Green Throw with a charming basket weave. Made from 100 percent acrylic, the throw is machine washable, so you can toss it in the machine when it needs freshening up. The summery shade is sure to make you smile while the light fabric won’t let you overheat. Note that the blanket also comes in White and Blush. 

Lighter Curtains

Those heavy light-blocking curtains are ideal for winter, as they block the chill as well as the sun when you’re trying to sleep. However, blackout shades are rarely the right call during the summer months. Take down those thermal curtains and hang something light and airy that lets in the sun. We particularly love the look of flouncy white curtains dancing in the breeze on a beautiful day.
