Be Inspired By Nature

There's something effortlessly inviting about a nature-inspired colour palette for summer. When planning your bedroom refresh, look to the outdoors for ideas. Think sunlit coastal tones, sandy neutrals and lush greens that echo beach days and tropical escapes. Bringing these elements inside creates a light, breezy space that feels fresh, relaxed and perfect for warm weather living.

If your bedroom colour theme ideas are inspired by the great outdoors, light wood accessories are a must. We recommend adding a wood planter pot, a wall hanging, and a diffuser for a simple transition to summer styling. If you have some free space in your bedroom, a summer rug and a few floor cushions can create a new living area for lazy summer days spent reading or hanging out with friends.

When you style your bedroom with cool colours, like pale blue or cloud-like grey, it feels like you're cocooned in your own little world. Those who love to travel may find that this is just right for their home, as it gives them a sense of privacy and protection from the outside world. To create this look, choose light colours such as skylight, oyster mushroom, and leek green. A textured coverlet in these colour tones will give you the soft and cosy look without sweltering under the covers. Style this with as many pillows as you find reasonable to enhance the cloud-like atmosphere.

You can even incorporate bolder colour tones like the rich blue hues of the ocean. Consider shopping for sheets in this colour tone to anchor a floral-patterned quilt cover with a bold tone and create a balance between the floristry and oceanic elements of nature.

Soft Summer Styling

Summer bedroom ideas can be as exciting or subtle as you would prefer. For those with a minimalist home, adding a few new pops of colour can transform your existing space from cosy and warm to soft summer styling. You can make any room feel instantly brighter by adding bright coloured accessories and homewares. Our favourite way to bring summer colours into a minimalist bedroom is with an artificial flower display. Pick your favourite colours and tones to instantly draw the eye. Plus, you won't need to worry about flowers wilting in the heat!

Another way to enhance your bedroom colour schemes for summer is by switching out thick and cosy bed linen for lightweight throws, cushions, and coverlets. This will not only help bring the energy and colours of summer in, but will help you get a better night's sleep in the warmer months. Switching out your bed linen for breathable and moisture wicking bed sheets can make all the difference in creating a relaxing summer oasis. Achieve a soft summer look by shopping for lightweight bed linen in pastel colour tones and create a peaceful ambience in your bedroom.

Embrace Bright Summer Colours

If minimalism isn't your thing, don't worry, this season is all about bright and bold bedroom colour schemes. Summer is the perfect time to explore colours that bring you joy while maintaining a chic and elevated style. Bringing in bright colours that you love, matched with natural fibres and materials, will help bold colours feel more relaxed and balanced. We recommend styling a bright and bold summer quilt cover with light wood and soft rugs. This will allow colours and patterns to sit centre stage.

The benefits of bright bedding extend far beyond your summer mornings. Introducing fresh hues to your home with a pop of colour will lift your spirits all year long! Look for a coverlet with fiery red, tangelo, classic green, or beetroot purple. These contrasting colours add excitement and life to your room, which is the perfect way to wake up in summer. You can opt for a monochrome look or, our personal favourite, a colourful pattern that adds an extra layer to this statement look.

Consider adding bright and bold smaller accent pieces to tie your bright summer colours together. Think about shopping for a bold wall print or decorating your bed with bright cushions. You can even add the perfect finishing touch to your side table with a glowing coloured candle. It's the finer details that complete your bedroom styling and help you establish harmony in your interior design.
