As the days get longer and the sunshine finally makes an appearance, summer is the perfect excuse to refresh your bedroom. Whether you're craving a lighter look, a more relaxed atmosphere, or simply want to make the most of the natural light, small updates can make a big difference.
From breathable bedding to clever use of colour and accessories, here are our top tips for creating a brighter, breezier bedroom you’ll love waking up in.
Rethink Your Furniture Layout
Summer is also a great time to rethink the layout of your bedroom. Simply rearranging your furniture can help improve the flow of the space and make better use of natural light. Try positioning your bed to face the window or moving bulky pieces that might be blocking the sun. If your room still feels cramped or cluttered, it might be time to consider bespoke fitted furniture — designed to maximise space without compromising on style.
Switch Up Your Accessories
Some of the quickest wins come from changing up your soft furnishings and décor. Pack away heavy blankets and swap knitted or velvet cushions for fresh pastels or breezy navy-and-white stripes. You can even experiment with new angles for your furniture — try placing your bed diagonally or away from the wall. A small shift in layout can make the whole room feel bigger and more open.
Refresh Your Walls with Lighter Colours
Your walls are a major factor in how brightness plays a role in your bedroom. Dark and dreary paint will kill the ambiance of the room, so stay away from it unless you’re going for a dim or dramatic look. There are a few different ways to make your walls pop, including applying new paint and wallpaper. Head down to one of AK Fitted Interiors showrooms for advice on what colour schemes could suit your bedroom.
Make the Most of Natural Light
One of the easiest ways to brighten up your bedroom is to let more natural light in. Some people prefer to use heavy and dark curtains, opting for the opposite will let you entertain some natural light better. Mirrors tend to reflect light, so if you’re subjected to making do with minimal natural light, then add more mirrors to your bedroom and it will help you illuminate your space even more. Mirrors are also highly decorative, making them functional and worth your while.
