It's nice to make some changes to your bedroom for each season, beyond the obvious like taking your warm blankets and duvets off your bed. Summer definely calls for a lighter look overall.
Here's a quick recipe for a Summer bed overhaul.
1. Put crisp white sheets on your bed. Preferably percale. If you need new ones, the 400 Supima Percale from the Company Store and Organic Percale from Pottery Barn are both good choices.
2. Top with a lightweight cover in white. Matouk makes a wonderful light matelasse in a fine pinpoint, this beautiful fabric is made in Italy.... but still the coverlet is reasonably priced at $279 for a queen.
3. Add euro shams in white linen. I love mixing textures, and just having the linen shams is a heck of lot cheaper than going for the linen sheets too! If you have a king bed you'll need 3 Euro pillows. If you have full or queen, 2 is good. I like Williams Sonoma Home's linen. The 100% linen shams are $55 each.
4. Finish with summery throw pillows. A perfect option is Inhabit's Grass pillow from Linenplace. $60 each.
You could do just one, or two if you want.
