How To: A Timeless Summer Bedroom Makeover

Choosing your bedding sets the tone for the theme you want to have in your bedroom. Since we're talking about the timeless and classic styles, you want to pick out bedding that is fresh, clean and natural fibres. Polyester is the worst material for bedding as it'll just suffocate you during your sleep. As Muslims, if you're married, your hubby can't sleep on silk. So buying 100% silk bedding is unfortunately off the table for us. However, a silk pillowcase for you and satin, cotton, linen or different fibres for him are fine. 

Another very important item when you're doing a bedroom makeover. Choosing a quilt insert is more important than you think. It's what regulates your body temperature at night, despite the weather. This quilt is perfect, as it's an all seasons one. However, there are many options and materials to choose from.

If you want to feel like you're sleeping in a cloud (like hotel beds), this topper is a must-have! This only applies to people who prefer a softer base, aka me. If you don't, you can just refresh your pillow inserts if you need to. I like mine soft (again, who doesn't want to feel like they're always sleeping in a hotel), therefore I always opt for feather inserts. Nonetheless, choose what makes you most comfortable.

Whether you have a larger window in your room, a glass door, whatever it is you do have. A curtain will always make your room like more 'comfortable' and chic. I like the idea of having the wind blow through the windows ever so softly, as the curtains start to subtly dance in the most intrinsic manner. They are a form of art in your room. You cannot go wrong with them. Don't forget to add sheer curtains as well as block out ones for that extra elegance.

Timeless pieces stem from the idea that you can own the item years on end without it ever looking 'trashy' or 'out of trend'. Picking items for your home is just like picking items for your wardrobe. The more timeless they are, the less you'll ever get 'sick' of them. Which I believe, this table lamp is a perfect example of. Touch, making it so simple yet effective to use, and it's just very pretty to look at.

Bedside table decor is subjective. Each person has certain valuables they'd like to be displayed, others not so much. It's obviously entirely up to you. This is a very, very pretty photo frame in my opinion for a timeless bedroom makeover. It adds a layer of sybarite quality (although this is from Temu 🤫). Comes to show, items aren't in the price, as much as they are the style itself.

If you don't leave water on your bedside table, you will now. This carafe is the prettiest I've seen, and not only can you use it as a water decanter near your bed, but as a mouthwash! Also helps to remember to drink water, because some of us struggle. Otherwise, it's such a convenient item to have near you.

I seen this when I went into Habitania recently, and when I tell you the back of this clock is JUST as pretty as the front. It's not a boring back, I promise you. This also reminds me of my grandparents bedroom, bringing back the old days when it was a clock near your bed, not your phone. Keep it by your bedside table, leaving your phone to charge in another room if you wan't to limit that phone use. 

Real flowers are beautiful. But they're high maintenance. And unless you have a weekly expense to keep replenishing them, these are a great alternative to keep your bedroom feeling alive. They come in many different colours, shapes and sizes, varying in different flowers as well. Choose the ones you love most and keep in your bedroom for that extra fragrant smell.

LOVE! A hand spritz perfume. And this room spray is the perfect add on to your timeless bedroom makeover. Although it can be used for any room in the house, keeping it in the bedroom gives a 'boudoir' feel. Very Old Hollywood glamour. Which is what we're all about here. Although this is more on the pricey side, it brings a sense of luxury and elevation to your bedroom.

Your favourite candle is appropriate, however I just wanted to display these Bath & Body Works 3-Wicks candles because they smell AMAZING! And are so prominent in a room. You'll be smelling like a florist in your bedroom. They're also affordable and can be replenished as soon as they finish. Best thing is, during Christmas and end of year holidays, they usually sell for less than half price! So keep an eye out!
