3 key summer updates for your bedroom

Be inspired by our top tips for creating your perfect sunny-season bedroom

TEXTILES

Crisp bed linen is a must when the temperature rises so swap snug blankets for fresh cotton sheets. White is always a winner: choose embroidered, ruched or pleated designs for interest, or add a couple of colourful cushions to completely change the look. Don't be afraid to mix styles.

An 18th-Century French bed makes a bold statement in a modern space, while a contemporary design gives edge to an elegant panelled room.

Consider investing in a stunning four-poster bed and adding voile drapes for a romantic mood.

Shop for the look at The White Company, House of Fraser, and Lombok.
