1. Summer Bedroom Color Palette

Choose a color palette for summer that is lighter than you would use in the winter and incorporate coastal colors like sandy beige, beach pebble gray, watery blues and summer whites.

Design Tip: Create a versatile bedroom design plan using a neutral color base (black, white, gray, beige) in your furniture and for your wall color, then add  a pop of summery accent color.

Instead of a coastal sea-inspired palette of blues, you could also go with a summery color palette of green hues!

If you are considering a paint makeover, why not use a light and bright neutral shade instead of a dark paint color?

How to Pick Paint Colors With Confidence!

Using a lighter wall color is one of the most effective small bedroom ideas because it will make your bedroom feel larger and airier.

A beautiful blue like SW Blue Nova is a beautiful choice for a bedroom if you like saturated colors.

Of course chic white walls are always a winner for a bedroom!

Check out these two popular white paint colors for interiors: Simply White and Pure White.

An all white space can look stark so be sure to layer in lots of coordinating neutrals and textures.

2. Add Coastal Style

A summer bedroom looks amazing with coastal design style added to it!

Even if your bedroom has an overall traditional, boho, farmhouse or glam design scheme, you can add coastal accents to it with bedding, curtains, area rug, bedside lamps, throw pillows, art and decor.

Added coastal style to a bedroom with beachy blue colors.

Layer in coral and shell decor to make the room feel relaxing and have a beach vacation feeling.

Display them on night tables and dressers to add style, texture and interest!

3. Bedding

Replace heavy duvets and flannel sheets with lightweight breathable cotton blend linens and a quilt.

I love using white bedding and white quilts for a minimalist look and to make the accent colors pop!

I place one on the bed and a second folded quilt at the end of the bed instead of a duvet to add warmth on cooler nights.

If you really love duvets you can add a light duvet.

Don’t forget to upgrade your mattress too, if needed!

Also add a throw blanket or two to the bed and a side chair.

4. Accent Pillows

Accent pillows are where you can really make a summery statement to your bedroom and bring in layers of gorgeous color and pattern!

For patterns, stripes are perfect for summer!

Pin stripes, awning stripes and chunky stripes all work!

Throw pillows in cotton and linen fabrics are perfect for summer.

Incorporate summertime watery blues, blue-greens and nautical navy to your accent pillows.

Accent pillows are essential accessories for a cozy space so make sure you add a few to your bed, to a bench at the end of your bed and to bedroom accent chairs.

5. Baskets

Use baskets that are made from natural materials like wicker, sisal and hyacinth grass to lighten and brighten your bedroom for a fresh summer feel!

Baskets can be used for bedroom storage to contain clutter (and are essential in a tiny bedroom!), to store extra throw blankets and are perfect for an olive tree.

6. Wall Art

When it comes to decorating the bedroom most people wonder ‘What can I put above my bed?’

Here are some ideas:

• framed wall art – landscapes, beach and surf photography art, geometric artwork or seascape drawings (I recommend light oak wood, white or black frames)
• a juju hat
• fiber art will add lots of texture to the room

7. Fresh Summer Flowers and Greenery

Of course a summer bedroom wouldn’t be complete with a bouquet of beautiful blooms!

Head to your garden and snip off some fresh flowers or head to your grocery store to pick up some!

How To Grow A Cut Flower Garden

Having a fresh bouquet of flowers on your nightstand is a gorgeous look.

Buy blue hydrangeas at your local grocery store and add them to a white vase.

Of course you could use faux flowers for a similar effect.

An alternative is to place a handful of leafy stems in a vase by the bedside for a simple, calm look.

Summer Drapery Ideas

Lastly don’t forget to update the drapery!

Adding neutral drapes and white roman shades will create a gorgeous, light, bright look.

Or consider soft blue drapes to create an oasis look.
