How to Create a Summer Vibe in the Bedroom with Decor

Can't travel to a tropical country in winter? With the help of Leroy Merlin, we share tips on which decor and lighting to include in your bedroom design to make every day feel like a summer vacation.

Use Summer Colors

Summer reminds us of greenery, sunshine, chocolate tan, beach sand, or pebbles. Collect a collage of summer images and use it as the basis for your bedroom palette.

If you're looking for dramatic changes, paint all the walls or just repaint an old dresser, nightstand, or screen in a new color.

Add Greenery

Monstera or ferns make great tropical plants. If you don't have time to care for living greenery, buy artificial ones: high-quality leaves and stems look just as good.

You can also create summer arrangements in vases or make a flower garland.

Decorate with Textiles Featuring Summer Motifs

Pillows, curtains, throws, and rugs with images of leaves, stems, cacti, and palms are ideal choices. But don't limit yourself to these only: solid-color textiles made from natural fabrics like linen, cotton, or jute also "work".

Complete the Bedroom with Woven Items

You can place woven baskets or boxes around the room, hang straw hats or decorative plates on the wall near the headboard, or even use a woven chair instead of a bedside table.

Hang Paintings with Summer Themes

Hang several different-sized horizontal and vertical paintings and photos on the wall, plus a few more on the floor. Nature scenes like jungles or tropical landscapes can remind you of summer.

Other great options are macro shots of plants, beach landscapes, or images of meadow grasses.

Use "Smart" Light Bulbs

They're currently trendy and can definitely add something special to your interior. Creating atmosphere and mood with "smart" bulbs is simple. For example, WiZ smart bulbs come with a default summer lighting scene.

Add Lighting Fixtures with Tropical Motifs

Bring a touch of summer heat to your bedroom using light fixtures that mimic tropical plants like palm trees.

If you have palms, where else would you place the sea? Shell-shaped lights with glaze or sea salt elements—what better summer ingredients?

Get a Florarium Lamp

This popular modern type of light fixture is a blend of lighting and plant ecosystem.

Even a regular plant lamp with plants growing underneath can create the feeling of summer all year round.
