This week I’m joining Marty from A Stroll Thru Life along with 11 other bloggers for a little summer bedroom home tour! Laura always has amazing DIY projects and decor ideas on a budget, so drop on by if you haven’t already!
I’m hoping that everything will be totally finished up within the next couple of months, so I’ll do a final post at that time with all of the specifics.
For today, I wanted to share some easy ways to update your bedroom for summer.
Everyone needs a little retreat of their own though, so I encourage you to spend a little time updating your bedroom for summer. A little decluttering and a few seasonal touches can totally transform it into your own summer paradise!
I’ve put together 7 of my favorite tips for how to update your bedroom for summer. I always start with cleaning our mattress and switching up the bedding for any seasonal bedroom update. for our main bedding and then add color with throw pillows and/or a layered quilt or blanket. ways to update your bedroom is to declutter those items that you no longer love, use, or need.
Summer is the perfect time to lighten things up, so go through your items and try to clear away a little space. Remove extra decor or furniture pieces that are just cluttering up the space until you’re left with just your favorite items.
Artwork is a great way to showcase your personality and add some character to your room. It also works as the perfect starting off point for choosing what accent colors you want to use.
While I typically go with blues for my accent color, this time I decided to pull from the pink, and added the blush linen heart pillow to the bed. Since I don’t have a lot of display space in our bedroom and like to keep things fairly minimal, I try to use a combination of decorative and functional items in my vignettes.
Fresh flowers or greenery always add a beautiful touch to any space, but faux stems work too if you don’t want the fuss of caring for real plants. Add a summer candle or some citrus essential oils to your diffuser to make your bedroom smell amazing.
You can also make your own DIY room and linen spray to help freshen things up or provide a nice, light scent before bed. They provide the perfect bedside light and tie in with the black on the mirror and curtain rods. Now that you’ve created a pretty bedroom retreat, make sure you take some time to relax and enjoy! I hope you enjoyed the tour and are inspired to update your own bedroom for summer!
