Nothing says summer like nautical or coastal-themed decor so if you want to make your bedroom look more breezy this is a great way to do it. Here Gilbane Development Company went with a color scheme that includes white, blue and red but also chose a light green shade for the walls.

Both the color scheme of a room and the textures and finishes used in its design are important for creating the type of ambiance that you like in this space. For instance, using light colors like white as well as neutrals such as beige but also light blue, for instance, can give a bedroom a soothing and beach-inspired vibe. It can be a wonderful look for a summer home like this one designed by studio Tom Stinger.

Finding a good balance between the functional and the aesthetic sides of a room can be challenging.

This is a design by Studio Life/Style.

This is definitely a very interesting bedroom and the first thing that stands out is the collection of shapes and patterns used here by Anna Karlin. This is also a very colorful room which really suits the summer theme we’re going for right now.

If you’re a fan of simplicity in general, you might prefer your bedroom to look airy, clean and uncluttered, like this one designed by studio BOA is. White is the main color here but that doesn’t mean the room lacks character or style. The subtle details are well hidden in plain sight.

Be eclectic

Sometimes it’s impossible to pick a single style when designing a space.
