THE BEST NIGHT’S SLEEP
Nothing feels nicer than slipping under bedding made from natural fibres, such as cool cotton sheets or a linen duvet cover, at the end of a hot day. As a natural regulator of body temperature and moisture, linen is luxuriously soft and breathable, so you can rest assured that you’ll get a better night’s sleep, staying fresh until morning. Other fabrics that are ideal for warm days and nights are chambray, bamboo, voile and silk – choose pale colours and subtle weaves and patterns to create a serene and soothing comfort zone.
Giving your bedroom a summer makeover will also mean that it absorbs less heat during the day, so your bedding and surroundings will feel lovely and cool when it’s time to go to sleep. And to guarantee a good night’s rest, opt for a smart window dressing to block external light, such as the Thermashade blackout pleated blind from the House Beautiful Collection at Hillarys.
