How to make your bedroom summer-friendly

Go for subtle hues like mint and lime, de-clutter and ditch the heavy carpets from your bedroom for a cool summer, say experts. Sonam Gupta, Design Head of Tangerine and Amrit Borkakoty, Founder of Serenityonline.in, suggest how

• Always opt for 100 per cent cotton infused soft furnishings at homes, particularly for the summer season. This is essential as these are not just the perfect sweat absorbents but also soft to touch and safe for the skin.
• Soft floral design and delicate stripes are the utmost prints that you can adorn rooms with, this season.
• Pack up all the cozy comforters as well as the beddings, especially in dark shades. Remove over printed sheets and keep them aside, as they will look completely obsolete and out of fashion.
• Dark and bright colours trap heat, therefore must be avoided.
• Keep the linen clean and long lasting by washing them in soft detergents every fortnight.
• Double layered curtains in the lightest of tints must be hung up. These do not just stop the sunlight from beaming in but the gentle colours create a peaceful ambience.
• take out outdated papers, books, and remove items that don't belong in the bedroom.
