YOUR MID-YEAR BEDROOM RESET: A SOFT GIRL’S AESTHETIC GUIDE
Halfway through the year is the perfect time to pause, reset, and ask yourself: does your space still feel like you?
The Soft Girl aesthetic is more than a pastel color palette. It’s a lifestyle built around intentional softness — in your routine, your relationships, and yes, your room. Think soothing tones, ruffled edges, and lived-in comfort that feels as good as it looks. Think about the morning routine that gives you both joy, elegance, and beauty.
Whether you’re craving calm or just looking to freshen things up, a soft mid-year makeover might be just what you need.
1. Begin with a Gentle Base
A Soft Girl room starts with bedding that feels like a hug. The Bubble Washed Cotton Ruffle Bedding Set is a staple:
- Delicate
- Breathable
- Effortlessly romantic.
Its washed finish makes it feel lived-in from day one, while ruffled trim adds that sweet, dreamy edge. Something that makes you feel like waking up in a fairytale.
Prefer something silky? The Coquette Tencel Silky Ruffle Bedding Set brings a subtle shine to your space, perfect for late sleep-ins and slow Sundays.
You can also opt for pastel duvets that soften the entire energy of the room. A gentle base sets the tone for softness throughout.

2. Layer on the Softness
The Soft Girl mindset embraces warmth through layers. Add a knit throw or two at the foot of your bed. Choose a mix of textures — jersey, flannel, linen — for a space that looks soft and cozy without trying.
We love the Washed Cotton Bed Sheets (15 Colors) in shades like Blush, Cloud White, or Sage. These colors feel soft without fading into the background.
Adding multiple pillows with different soft-touch materials will instantly elevate your bedding.

3. Curate Your Color Story
Soft Girl isn’t just about pink. Explore a palette of dreamy hues:
- Lavender
- Butter yellow
- Sky blue
- Mint
The Duo Pillowcases / Pink + Blue are a subtle way to bring in multiple tones while keeping things cohesive.
If you're feeling more playful, the Striped Linen Bedding Set / Orange brings vintage charm and a warm, sun-drenched vibe.
Blending colors should feel soft and fluid — never forced. Mix complementary shades that make your space feel serene and true to you.

4. Add a Touch of Whimsy
This is where the magic happens. Add decor that feels personal: a vintage mirror, a stack of love-worn books, a pastel lamp, a cute accent piece. Then bring it all together with slippers that make you smile every morning. Our favorite? The Open Toe Cotton House Slipper / Pink.
Other details? Dried flowers, frilly curtains, pastel mugs — all welcome here.

Reflect, Reset, Refresh
Your room should evolve with you. A mid-year reset doesn’t have to mean a total overhaul. Even one new layer — a pillowcase, a soft throw, a new bedding set, a cute wall decal, a new lamp — can help your space reflect how you feel now.
Here’s how to get started:
Swap in one new bedding set that aligns with your current vibe.
Refresh your pillow mix with soft tones and textures.
Add a lighting piece that softens your evenings.
Choose one playful decor detail that feels uniquely you.
Keep your color story cohesive and rooted in softness.
This season, focus on creating a space that wraps you in softness — physically and emotionally.
