Keep cool
A fun and fresh bedroom like this would make it hard to resist an early night despite the long hours of summer sunshine, and the mood is set by the Bellissimo Stripe Linen Quilt Cover by Kip&Co from Bolt of Cloth. The French flax linen is naturally breathable for year-round comfort, and the more you sleep on it, the softer it feels. The timeless stripes create a feel-good coastal vibe with old-world charm. Vibrant colours are balanced with artwork, a vase of pretty flowers and Alfresco Organic Cotton Pillowcases, all grounded by the calm cream surroundings.
STYLING TIPS FOR THE ULTIMATE SUMMER BEDROOM FROM SUZANNAH TONASCIA AT BOLT OF CLOTH:
MIX PRINTS Combining stripes and florals is an effortless way to do this, and starting with pillowcases is an easy, low-risk option. In this image, both the pillowcases are from Kip&Co. Some brands such as Bluebellgray and Lazy Bones make it even easier by using different but cohesive prints on the fronts and backs of their pillowcases, so you can simply use two pillowcases facing one way and two the other.
FLIP OUT Choose a reversible duvet cover. Lots of brands now offer different fabrics on each side of their duvet covers, giving you plenty of classy styling options. Check out Hommey, Orla Kiely and Bluebellgray.
UNMATCH Don’t get caught up in thinking all your colours have to be an exact match. The more interesting rooms have more depth than that. In this room, there are lots of different shades of green, and it looks beautiful.
SOFTLY SOFTLY You don’t have to go nuts with pillows! One you love can be enough. Round is cute, as are small oblongs.
