Stay pretty with delicate embroidery
Embroidered bed linen adds a luxurious feel to any bedroom, but it can be a bit heavy for summer sheets. Keep it light and delicate by choosing a white bedspread with fine white stitching in a pretty floral design.

Go for summer stripes
There is something incredibly refreshing about stripes in summer. They call to mind deckchairs or American coastal style. Stripes also add a little easy-going pattern to your scheme without making the space feel too busy.

Ditch the duvet
If you get hot and bothered under your duvet in the summer, ditch it! Invest in some soft sheets (Egyptian cotton is a good bet), with as high a thread count as you can afford. Layer these up with a throw or light blanket for some gentle warmth on chillier nights.
