Refresh Your Bedroom with Summer Colours

Summer is the perfect time to breathe new life into your bedroom. Using the right colours and materials can make your space feel lighter, cooler, and more inviting. Whether you’re aiming for a relaxing retreat or a bright and energised look, the right colour palette is key.

Best Bedroom Colours for Summer

Soft Neutrals

  • Why it works: Neutrals like beige, ivory, and soft greys reflect natural light, creating a calm and airy space.

  • Styling tips: Pair with light bedding and textured throws for a breezy summer feel.

  • Try: A neutral bed frame from Bedshed’s Infinity Customisable Collection to anchor the room.

Cool Blues and Greens

  • Why it works: Shades of aqua, mint, and sage evoke a sense of calm and help your bedroom feel cooler in the warmer months.

  • Styling tips: Layer soft linens and accent cushions in complementary tones for depth.

Pastel Hues

  • Why it works: Gentle pinks, lilacs, and corals bring subtle warmth without overwhelming the space.

  • Styling tips: Pastels work beautifully with neutral furniture and natural textures.

Nature-Inspired Tones

  • Why it works: Colours inspired by the outdoors—like sandy beige, leafy green, or sky blue—enhance a relaxing summer vibe.

  • Styling tips: Use plants, wooden furniture, and natural fibres to complement the palette.

Summer Bedroom Styling Ideas

  • Layer bedding: Lightweight quilts, airy sheets, and cotton throws keep the space fresh.

  • Update accessories: Swap darker curtains and rugs for lighter alternatives.

  • Coordinate furniture: A customisable bed frame in a light or neutral colour can unify the room.

  • Add texture: Woven baskets, rattan chairs, and linen cushions add warmth and dimension without heating up the room.

How to Choose the Right Summer Colour Palette

Light

Consider your room's natural light

Bright rooms can handle bolder shades, while darker rooms benefit from light, reflective colours.

Mood

Think about mood

Soft neutrals and cool tones encourage relaxation; pastels can energise the space.

Colour

Mix and match

Combine complementary colours in furniture, bedding, and décor for a cohesive look.

Bedding

Use beds and bedding as anchors

The bed is the focal point—select a frame and linens that suit your summer palette.

Where do I start?

Refreshing your bedroom for summer doesn’t have to be a complete overhaul. By choosing the right summer bedroom colours and updating your accessories, bedding, and bed frame, you can create a space that feels light, airy, and inviting.
