Bring Summer into your Bedroom

White Summer Bedroom

In our northern climate when the sun does finally make an appearance,  its a great time to freshen the look of your bedrooms. Bring summer indoors in full force – without losing the comfortable and cozy furnishings you yearn for in the cooler months.

If you are wondering how to transform your bedroom into a summer retreat, here are a few ideas!!!

Think of summer, and bright sunshine is the constant theme. Light colors, light fabrics. Swap the thick heavy curtains for light sheer drapes, and use a blind to calm the blazing sun in the height of the summer season.

Use mirrors to fill your bedroom with light, bouncing the sunlight around. Sometimes just moving a large freestanding mirror to a new location will make all the difference, optimizing the light reflection in your room.

Sometimes less really is more! why not rearrange your furniture to create a more open space? Add a white headboard to brighten your bed, and use lighter bedding and covers to compliment your summer theme. What about nautical stripes to give your room a real coastal theme?

Perhaps you have a fireplace, or simple wall shelf in the bedroom? Maybe add a few seashells, and fresh flowers helping to bring the outside in.
