Let’s put some of those “Europe Summer” inspo pins you’ve been saving to good use and turn those static dreams into a cozy European summer bedroom you can feel exotic and refreshed in.

Start by layering your background; utilize a neutral palette of greens and beiges and craft a bed-scape that could be reminiscent of the Amalfi Coast’s trees and mountainous shorelines overlooking the water. By changing the vista of your bedroom with our Rosette Jacquard Floral Bedding Set you can transform your bed space into something so euro-summer fresh it could pass for a luxury suite at your dream resort.

And that's not just the summer heat delusions talking, we all crave a change of scenery around this time of year, even from our own spaces.

A summer vacation in general is an opportunity to trade your same old environment for something new and refreshing. And to some that means hitting the beach or taking that weekend road trip to re-discover the natural beauties of nature and open landscapes. Finding the kind of peace only a trip away from the congested sprawl of the city can provide. However, a European summer bedroom is a pretty close second.

I personally love the feeling of stretching my arms out and letting a gentle breeze pass over me. And it’s a sensation that need not be restricted to elevated landscapes. All you need is a fan, an open window and enough creativity to properly set up airy open spaces indoors. It helps expand the room to feel less stifling and hopefully offer your mind and body some room to breathe. Being able to move around is very freeing, especially when you're more used to sitting for long periods of time either at school or your workplace.

Take note: just because you want to keep a space “open,” it doesn't mean you can’t throw a chair with a Fluffy Plush Square Pillow in there for a soft place to sit.

Especially if you’ve got an open window where you can enjoy some fresh air and sunlight, to really connect your European summer bedroom with the soothing elements of nature.

Let us never forget that the summer season is as well known for its heat as it is for its vacation deals. So, crack open the window and invest in some good Silky Solid Tencel Sheets to keep the bed cool and avoid feeling drenched in sweat. If we want to enjoy our European Summer Bedroom like it’s a separate travel destination we have to condition the space to be just as accommodating.

The trend of using a White and Blue color palette for summer is not lost on me, especially since they pair so well with the glistening coasts that exotic European Summers are famous for. But more importantly they’re also very cooling colors.

Using beddings like our Blue Adeline Pastel Silky TENCEL™ Bedding Set can keep your bed cool for midday naps by reflecting the sun’s light back onto the room as opposed to absorbing it. Essentially turning the hot sunlight into another room element that helps with the immersion that you’re staying in one of Europe’s sunny vacation destinations.

Reflecting the sunlight around the room is also an energy efficient way to brighten your space, save money on lights so you can invest in some good electric fans or an air-conditioner.
