Hello World! Welcome Friends! Making seasonal changes to your bedroom can ensure that you get good sleep quality all year round. There are also ways in which you can match the decor to each season to aesthetically embrace each new period of the year. This guide delves more into how to prepare your bedroom for every season of the year.
Spring
Spring is traditionally spring cleaning time and is a good time to declutter your bedroom and get into those areas that rarely get cleaned. Take the time during this season to sort through all your clothes and take items you don’t need to a charity shop. When cleaning, consider dragging your bed out and wardrobe out and cleaning behind them – these can be common hidden spots for dust and mold to gather.
The temperature will start warming up in spring, but there could still be some cold nights. Consider keeping a warm and cool blanket on your bed that you can switch between. Smart HVAC can also be a worthy investment during this season, giving you the power to control your home’s heating or cooling from your bed so that you don’t have to get up in the night to adjust a thermostat.
When it comes to spring-oriented bedroom decor, there are a few changes you can make. With bedding and curtains, consider calming colors that represent a fresh start such as white and sky blue. Soft pinks are also great for this season. Consider adding some freshly picked flowers to a vase and consider filling the room with relaxing floral scents like lavender and jasmine using candles or oils.
Summer
In summer, the heat will pick up, and you’ll need to consider a few changes to keep things cool. Start by considering your bedding. Opt for sheets made from breathable fabrics like Egyptian cotton and bamboo. If you’re constantly struggling to find the cool side of the pillow, consider buying a silk pillowcase or try a specialist cooling pillow. Avoid heavy weighted blankets during these months in favor of lighter blankets. There are many breathable blankets you can buy if you can get hot in the night. You can even buy cooling mattress toppers to keep your sheets cool.
Fans and air conditioning are another solution for staying cool. Of the two, fans will use less energy, but may not have much effect when napping on a very hot day. Portable fans are the cheapest option, but need to be located properly to have a good effect. A ceiling fan could be worth installing on your ceiling if you don’t have one already and your bedroom gets very hot in summer. Make sure this fan is set counterclockwise so that air is directed down.
Before summer arrives, you’ll want to take down any thick winter curtains and consider something more airy. At the same time, it could be worth having the option of blackout blinds or blackout curtains to help block out the early morning sun on those weekend mornings. Blackout roller blinds can be a good option as they still allow ventilation while keeping out light.
What decor changes should you make to your bedroom in summer? This could be a great time to try brighter bedding colors like mustard yellow and coral pink. Baby blue tones are also summer while giving your bedroom a calmer feel. Consider adding some summery scents to your room during this season such as sea breeze scents and tropical scents. Ornaments like seashells can meanwhile be great for giving your bedroom a summer beach hut feel.
Fall
Fall is notoriously the season when all the bugs come indoors. At the same time, September can still be quite warm, so most of us don’t want to close the windows. The solution to this could be to install a bug screen that you can pull down to keep out bugs. On the topic of window upgrades, fall could also be a good time to look into replacement windows if you still have single pane windows. When winter arrives, you’ll appreciate that extra insulation. At the same time, it makes sense to replace windows during slightly warmer months so that you’re not letting a lot of cold air into your home.
The cooler temperatures of fall mean that you may also want to change your bedding. As with spring, a good solution is to keep a warm and cool blanket on your bed that you can switch between.
When it comes to fall decor, colors like orange and brown are clearly ideal for reflecting this season. Dried flowers and pine cones can make great fall decorations. Fall scents to consider could include pumpkin spice, sandalwood and vanilla.
Winter
As the temperatures get colder, you should start exploring ways to make your bedroom warmer. You should start with your bedding. Flannel sheets are ideal for the winter due to their warm and fuzzy feel. A thick weighted duvet will similarly help to trap in heat and is recommended for this season. If you prefer lighter bedding, consider an insulated quilt.
You can experiment with different forms of heating. Hot water bottles are some of the cheapest and most reliable solutions. Alternatively, you can look into heated blankets or heated mattress toppers. Electric space heaters can also heat up your bedroom, however many manufacturers don’t advise keeping them on while you are asleep.
If you have hard flooring, you should keep some slippers near your bed or lay down some deep pile rugs. This will make getting up in the night more bearable. Keeping a dressing gown, robe or onesie in reach is also recommended.
As for winter bedroom decor, try to focus on comforting textures like fur and velvet. Extra pillows and fur throws can add an extra sense of coziness. When it comes to wintry colors, consider royal blues and grays. For a festive vibe, consider adding ruby reds or emerald greens. Great wintry scents to try in your bedroom meanwhile include alpine wood scents and cinnamon.
