8 fresh summer bedroom ideas

1. Design a dreamy beach-themed bedroom for summer

Create your own summer staycation with a beach inspired bedroom. Balance two-tone peach walls with a cosy grey fabric bed and white linen, then add sky-blue and peach pillows for a summer holiday vibe. Play up this dreamy Instagrammable look with a rattan bedside table and metallic gold accessories.

2. Add modern coastal touches to your summer bedroom

For a chic and relaxed look this summer, decorate your bedroom in coastal style. Start with fresh white walls and a beige bed, then layer shades of blue through your bedding and accessories. Add a personal touch with beach wall art and complete the look with natural elements like plants and woven baskets.

3. Go airy and bright with sheer curtains and natural light

Put away the heavy drapes from winter and instead, use sheer curtains in the summer to let natural light fill your bedroom. For a light and breezy feel, choose white sheer curtains like Voile curtains. Pair them with lightweight blackout curtains or blinds for added privacy. Keep the look airy and bright with a white and neutral colour palette throughout the room.

4. Make a statement with tropical wallpaper in the bedroom

Tropical décor represents everything we love about summer style - pops of colour, fun prints and natural elements. For a refreshingly bold update, transform your bedroom with vibrant tropical wallpaper on a feature wall. Keep the space feeling soft and cosy with a grey fabric bed and touches of pink and green.

Tropical prints work well in a Scandi bedroom too. Try out the hybrid interior design trend called Tropicandi with a contemporary fabric bed, bold tropical prints and indoor plants. If you love this look, check out our guide to Tropicandi décor.

5. Layer an oak bed with yellow accents for summer

Summer is the perfect time to experiment with a zesty pop of colour like yellow. Start small with mustard yellow bedding to bring out the warmth of an oak bed. Accessorise with similar tones, like natural wooden frames and a woven rug, to get a relaxing space.

6. Get soft summery vibes with white and pink

With a pastel colour palette, summer can feel soft and dreamy. Recreate a sunset glow in your bedroom with a white wooden bed and blush pink linen. Use a variety of textures to bring the room to life, such as fluffy pampas grass, and tongue and groove wall panels.

For a bigger impact, try a half wall of desert pink and white shaker style panels. Ground the room with a modern grey fabric bed, then add pops of yellow and green pastels to soften the space.

7. Colour block a feature wall in a child’s bedroom

A feature wall can be an inexpensive and impactful way to add personality to a child’s bedroom. Play with geometric shapes and summery colours like marigold yellow and mauve pink, then tie the look together with fun prints in black. Choose a white wooden bed for a light and airy feel.

8. Energise your summer with a green bedroom

Closely associated with nature and the great outdoors, green evokes positive feelings and energy when used in the bedroom. Mix zesty lime accents with deep forest green to get a lively yet balanced colour palette. Then add warmth with a stylish oak bed and leafy indoor plants.
