Summer Bedding Ideas

Although it doesn’t quite feel like spring outside, it’s never too early to start lightening up our homes for the warmer months. It’s this time of year that I often pare back on all the wooly throws, and switch out an area rug or two for a summer-appropriate sisal.

I also like to change up my bedding for spring. Heavy duvet covers, blankets, and extra accent pillows just seem in the way on humid summer night, so getting back to simple essentials is a must. Here are a few great spring and summer bedding items that I have my eye on.

I love the vintage look of this duvet cover through Jayson Home. It has enough pattern to add interest, but it’s subtle enough to be layered with other colours and textures. This duvet cover would look great folded back at the bottom of a bed.

I love the rich navy blue colour and the subtle stitch detail of Serena & Lily’s matelassé coverlet. It would look amazing covering the majority of the bed.

Linen shams and sheets are summer essentials. Their lightweight feel and causal rumpled look pairs well with the laissez-faire attitude of summer bed making.

There’s something about an artisanal block print that just screams summer to me, and this Kabora pillow by John Robshaw is pretty much perfect. Navy and orange are a hot and very summer-appropriate colour combo, add a hit to update your neutral linens.
