June is nearly over and we’re looking forward to a classic British summertime, full of trips to the beach, barbecues and an amazing few weeks of sport.

One thing we can often overlook however as the seasons change is the change to our homes, in particular, our bedroom decor. There’s nothing more discomforting that a thick, 13 tog mattress designed for chilly winter nights when it’s 100 degrees outside – but how can you change your bedroom to accommodate the heat without sacrificing your style?

Hiding your bulky duvet away can be one of the biggest problems of adapting your room to the summer. If you want your bedroom to look less like a reject from the Tracey Emin collection and more like a welcoming summer haven, why not consider a few space saving furniture items?

Many stylish wardrobes nowadays come with a drawer underneath which can adequately accommodate a bulky duvet, neatly tucking away any excess and preventing the user from having to hike up into the loft every time they fancy cuddling up with something a little warmer.

Change your personal style for summer

Another potential space saver to consider is a storage solution for all your winter clothing. Large knitted jumpers, jeans and padded winter coats can all look unsightly when they’re hanging over a desk chair, so you’ll want to have a look into clothing space savers as well.

Divan beds are a great way of hiding away clothes that you’re not going to need until the winter rolls around again, and if the unpredictable British summer weather rears its ugly head, you can quickly pull out the under bed drawer and grab your winter coat without a panic.

Alternatively, if you’re a little more optimistic about our sunshine, you can consider vacuum packed storage. The premise is simple – users can fold their clothes appropriately into a large plastic sack and vacuum the air out via a valve, largely decreasing the volume and making for an easy hideaway storage solution.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to make them work for you and they usually come very cheaply, averaging around £10 for sets of two or three. One word of warning however – clothes have the potential to emerge a little creased once you open the bag again, so have your iron at the ready!
