While there has been a persistent trend of using neutral and pastel palettes, people are now eager to embrace boldness, especially as temperatures rise and individuals seek refuge near water bodies like resort pools, lakes, and beaches. Vibrant hues beautifully complement the blues of water and the greenery that typically surrounds these natural or manmade landscapes, inspiring people to bring those refreshing colors indoors.Holly Hickey Moore, founder of Holly Hickey Moore in Dallas
Why Change Your Bedding for Summer?
The summer heat can be synonymous with disrupted sleep, which makes it a must to switch to lighter bedding materials for prime relaxation. There are a few reasons that change is beneficial:
1. Improve Sleep Quality with the Best Summer Bedding
During the summer months, the temperature often remains high even during the night. This can make it bothersome to fall asleep and stay asleep, leading to restless nights and groggy mornings. Light, breathable bedding materials such as cotton and linen are designed to promote better air circulation. They help to wick away moisture and allow for proper ventilation, ensuring you stay cool and comfortable all throughout the night. With less heat build-up, you can enjoy deeper, more restful sleep, free from the discomfort of night sweats.
2. Keep Cool with Lightweight Summer Bedding
Heavy blankets and comforters, while snuggly in winter, will trap heat and enforce overheating in the summer. Switching to lightweight quilts, blankets, and sheets made from natural fibers will help regulate your body temperature. These materials feel soft and gentle against your skin, adding to your overall well-being and making it easier to relax and unwind after a long (hot) day.
3. Seasonal Decor: Best Bedding Colors and Patterns for Summer
Summer is a time for rejuvenation and relaxation, so your bedroom should reflect the vibrancy of longer days. Updating your bedding is an easy way to refresh your bedroom decor without requiring a major interior overhaul. Brighter colors instantly lift the mood of the room, making it feel more inviting and lively. Beach themes, abundant blues, and deep earthy yellows are perfect for capturing the essence of summer. Aligning your space with the season’s aesthetics makes you appreciate the sun all the more!

4. Staying Allergy-Free with Summer Sheets
If you get a case of summer allergies, lighter bedding materials such as cotton and linen can even be beneficial for your health. These natural fibers are naturally hypoallergenic making them ideal for those with allergies. They help to create a cleaner sleeping environment by reducing the accumulation of allergens. Additionally, these materials are easy to wash and maintain, ensuring your bedding remains fresh and hygienic throughout the entire season.
“I've been loyal to washed linen for at least 10 years. I've tried tons of different bedding, and when I found washed vintage linen, I was hooked! I love its natural and effortless look and feel. It doesn’t need to be pressed perfectly either.”Jenni Kayne, fashion designer and author of Pacific Natural: Simple Seasonal Entertaining
