Boutique hotel style for the coolest summer bedroom

Boost your well-being with a luxurious, sleep-friendly bedroom and make every summer night feel like you’re relaxing in a boutique hotel.

There is nothing more refreshing after a day in the sun than to escape to the cooling sanctuary of a beautiful bedroom. With just a little effort and a few key pieces, all your midsummer nights will be dreamy and serene. Read on for our favourite summer bedroom ideas.

Choose summer bedding that’s perfect for warm nights

Few things compare to the pleasure of slipping between freshly laundered sheets, especially when skin is still hot from the sun. Whether you opt for classic white linen bedding or a soft pastel shade, our washed 100% linen bedding is soft to the touch and cool against your skin, the perfect option for smart summer beds. Our matching linen curtains will diffuse bright sunlight and allow gentle breezes to waft through open windows. Layering is key to achieving the ideal bedroom temperature, but try casting off a lightweight duvet in favour of sheets partnered with an open weave cotton throw or lightweight white cotton bedspread.

Add a luxurious boutique hotel
‌style bed

‌A grand bed is central to injecting your summer bedroom ideas with boutique hotel style. Choose a statement headboard or bed; our buttoned headboard offers luxury boutique-style, whilst a canopy bed offer a brighter contemporary update on a traditional four-poster bed. A metal canopy allows ample styling opportunities (think white muslin drapes for romantic summer style), and if you opt for a naked headboard and cover, you can update with a pale linen cover for the summer season. Whichever you choose, remember to stack those cushions high for maximum impact.

Furnish an elegant dressing room
‌area

Add some airy by-gone glamour with an elegant dressing table and stool complete with a dressing table mirror. Getting ready at home will feel as good as on holiday, even if ‘out’ is just to the garden. A dressing table with drawers to stow everyday items will leave the surface clear for pretty trinket boxes and vases. An armchair in the corner, just like in the hotel, provides the perfect spot to fasten your summer sandals before you head out.

Create calm with superior bedroom storage

A tidy room is a restful room - so bedroom storage is key to this look. Choose a bedroom storage bench for storing your winter woollies, and since outfits are changed often during hot weather, an attractive laundry basket to halt that growing floordrobe. Rattan bedroom storage boxes and seagrass baskets complement the summer style, and bedside tables with drawers provide a tidy home for a bedside lamp (since premium lighting is synonymous with boutique hotel style).

Design a space for soothing siestas

Even if you find it hard to fall asleep during the day, a little contemplative lie down can be incredibly restorative on the hottest days. Create the perfect ambience for a siesta with soothing bedroom wall art in neutral tones and themes that promote tranquillity such as our classic angel wings.  We find the best wall paint colours for bedrooms to cool and relax you in the height of the season come from a pastel palette – we love the soft green-grey of Summerhouse, which soothes but never feels cold.

Final decorative touches for bedroom bliss

Summer is the peak season for beautiful flowers and fragrances. Wisteria, honeysuckle, jasmine and rambling roses planted to climb around the bedroom window will infuse your room with scent.  Mirror the bounty of the summer garden from within your bedroom with vases of roses, peonies and hydrangeas. Faux flowers are the perfect choice for lasting way beyond the weekend.
