Make Your Bed Like a Pro With These Cool and Colourful Summer Bedding Finds
Oh, those summer nights.
During the summer, the threat of dreaded night sweats often leaves us feeling like we have to choose between style and comfort when making our beds. And once that midnight humidity kicks in, pretty sheets and fancy (read: hot) pillows are more than likely getting the boot. Unless you know where to shop, that is.
The best summer bedding can be aesthetically pleasing and practical, mixing fun patterns with breathable fabrics like linen and percale. Ahead, six must-buy pieces from duvet covers to cooling pillows that’ll spruce up your space and contribute to a comfortable night’s sleep.
Duvet Cover and Sham Set, Kotn
Stripes? For summer? Yes, please! In place of nautical navy, switch things up and opt for lively, hedge green coloured stripes as seen in Kotn’s Duvet Cover and Sham Set. Made with 100 percent long-staple Egyptian cotton, this set feels so soft to the touch—you may never want to get out of bed. From your wardrobe to your sheets, this timeless print belongs anywhere and everywhere in your home at this time of year.
