Cozy Room Makeover Checklist: Summer Edition

White Floral Pajama Set by Ever Lasting

Summer is a season of renewal—not just in our routines, but in our spaces. While we usually associate cozy rooms with colder weather, we believe that cozy is a year-round feeling—and yes, it can absolutely thrive during summer. This is your gentle reminder that cozy doesn’t have to mean heavy. It can be breathable, sunlit, and soft to the touch—think crinkled cotton sheets, naturally dyed linen throws, and warm, golden morning light filtering through gauzy curtains. 


Whether you're resetting your bedroom, styling a reading nook, or refreshing your bedding for the new season, this is your go-to summer room makeover checklist.

1. Comfy Summer Friendly Bedding Swaps

Cozy doesn’t mean stuffy. To keep your bed breathable and inviting during the hot Summer nights, opt for natural fabrics that promote airflow and softness. 

  • Switch to Linen Bedding:
    Linen is a summer essential. It keeps you cool at night, and its naturally rumpled look adds relaxed elegance to your space.
  • Use Crinkled Cotton Sheets:
    The ultimate Summer hack is soft and lived-in, crinkled cotton gives a dreamy texture and keeps things light. It’s cozy without the bulk. 
  • Trade Duvets for Lightweight Throws:
    Ditch the heavy comforter and layer on a cotton or muslin throw. It adds just enough warmth for breezy evenings without trapping heat.

2. Let the Light In

It’s important to keep things light when the Summer, this includes letting in the natural sunlight! Summer is all about the soft, glowing light. Use natural sunlight to make your room feel more open, airy, and serene.

  • Sheer Curtains:
    Swap out thick drapes for sheer linen or cotton curtains that let in light while still offering privacy. They flutter gently with the breeze and soften harsh sunlight.
  • Mirrors to Reflect Light:
    Place mirrors across from windows to reflect and spread the natural Summer light throughout your space. It’s one of the easiest ways to brighten the entire room.
  • During Night Time: 
    Use small lights such as lamps rather than an overhanging big light to keep your space comfy and homey!

3. Refresh with Seasonal Textures & Tones

Give your room a refresh, Summer Style. Lighter tones and breathable textures bring seasonal warmth without overwhelming your senses. Add in organic textures. This can make your space feel even more connected to that Summer outing scenery while maintaining a cozy environment.


  • Incorporate Natural Colors: Think muted earth tones like oat, clay, soft rose, or sage green. These shades pair beautifully with Ever Lasting’s naturally dyed bedding.
  • Use Soft Woven Fabrics: Add double gauze or muslin pillows for breathable layering. These fabrics are easy on the skin and perfect for summer lounging.

Find the finishing touches that give your room its personality and Summer charm. Even the smallest decor pieces can make the biggest difference. Swap out your accents from Spring for lighter, seasonal touches.


  • Fresh or Dried Florals: Fill a small vase with local blooms or dried flowers for a natural, effortless statement.
  • Summer Seasonal Candles & Scents: Switch to light, fresh scents like citrus, lavender, or white tea. Display in neutral-toned glass jars or bowls.
  • Keep Nightstands Simple: Clear off any visual clutter and keep it soft: a linen runner, a small candle, a water glass, and your favorite summer read.

Final Thoughts

Creating a cozy Summer space is all about choosing softness over heaviness, calm over clutter, and fabrics that let your skin breathe. With lightweight linens, gentle colors, and thoughtful textures, your room can feel like a warm-weather retreat without sacrificing comfort. Summer is all about the warm weather, but don't let it be sacrificed for the coziness.


Let the light in. Layer with love. And let cozy exist in all seasons.

  • Swap Out Heavy Layers for Summer-Friendly Bedding

  • Refresh with Seasonal Textures & Tones
    Introduce soft, breathable fabrics like muslin and double gauze in natural, muted tones to reflect the calm energy of summer.

  • Style with Intention, Not Clutter
