Summer is here, bringing with it long, bright days, sometimes overwhelming heat… and a few restless nights if your bedding isn't suitable. At Alinda Home, we know that choosing the right sheets is essential for a comfortable and serene summer season. Soothing colors, breathable materials: discover our tips for a bed that invites coolness.
Ideal materials for summer
In summer, bedding must primarily promote air circulation, wick away moisture, and remain pleasant to the touch, even in high temperatures. Here are our preferred materials:
1. Washed linen
Naturally thermoregulating, linen is the star of summer. It keeps you cool during the day and remains breathable at night. Its slightly wrinkled appearance adds a bohemian and elegant touch to the bedroom.
Good to know: Linen becomes softer with each wash.
2. Cotton percale
Denser than classic cotton, cotton percale is both soft and light. It provides an immediate feeling of coolness and a beautiful drape on the bed.
3. Cotton gauze (or double gauze)
Very trendy, cotton gauze is ultra-soft, light, and breathable. It gives the bedroom a relaxed look while ensuring maximum comfort during warm nights.
4. Bamboo viscose
Still little known, this material is perfect for summer: antibacterial, very soft, absorbent, and refreshing. It is particularly suitable for sensitive skin.
What colors to choose for a summer bedroom?
Colors influence our mood and our perception of heat. In summer, the ideal is to opt for light and natural tones, which reflect light and create a restful atmosphere.
Colors to favor:
- Pure white or off-white: timeless, bright, a symbol of freshness.
- Beige, sand, natural linen: for a soft, Mediterranean ambiance.
- Sage green or light olive: soothing and connected to nature.
- Sky blue, lagoon blue, or grey-blue: reminiscent of water, guaranteed refreshing effect.
- Pastel tones (lavender, powder pink, pale yellow): for a soft and bright bedroom.
Colors to avoid:
- Dark colors (black, burgundy, plum) that absorb heat.
- Overly vibrant hues that can stimulate the mind instead of calming it.
Our tips for a perfect summer bed
- Alternate light layers: a flat sheet may sometimes be enough. Add a thin throw for cooler evenings.
- Air out the bedroom every morning to refresh the air and keep your bedding cool.
- Opt for subtle patterns: fine stripes, delicate flowers, or textured solids create a chic ambiance without visually overwhelming the space.
In summary:
Good summer bedding means:
- A light and breathable material like linen, percale, or cotton gauze.
- Soft and natural colors that invite relaxation.
- A fresh, minimalist, and soothing ambiance, in harmony with the season.
