The best spring and summer bedding sets

Pacific stripe seersucker duvet set, John Lewis

The puckered weave of seersucker doesn't just look attractive, it serves a clever purpose on a warm day - the bunching of the cotton keeps the material away from the skin, which is why its a popular choice for clothing in warmer climes. It also makes for spectacularly breathable bedding, like this set from John Lewis. With a jaunty striped pattern inspired by the blue of the Pacific Ocean, this is a classic summer look.

White Linen Bedding, Scooms

Scooms is one of our go-to brands for all things bedding here at YourHomeStyle. The family-run brand is passionate about sustainability and produces premium quality duvets, pillows and bedding, so we couldn’t believe our luck when we heard that they’ve added a new range of super-soft linen bedding in three simple shades – pure white, calm grey and soft pink.

The linen range certainly doesn’t disappoint. Not only does it give your room an incredibly beautiful relaxed look, but it’s extremely soft, making for an incredibly comfortable night’s sleep. We love the fact that this eco-friendly bedding is made in small batches in Portugal, but our favourite feature has to be the oversized mother-of-pearl buttons that sit neatly at the bottom of the set – they add a touch of luxury and make your space feel really special, as any bedroom should be.

Artisan studio floral quilt, Monsoon

Each of the designs in Monsoon’s artisanal range – which this beautiful floral quilt belongs to – has been developed by skilled artisans in Jaipur, India, using handcraft techniques such as batik and hand-block printing. The delicate bloom motif on this particular piece is perfect for brightening up a lacklustre room, and the lightly padded cotton is great for warmer evenings. We love it!

This beautiful minty green bedding is made in Portugal, where the linen is pre-washed for extra softness. It’s a perfect choice if you like your interiors to look effortless and understated, and the fabric will get softer every time you wash it.

And if green isn’t your thing, this set comes in eleven more shades, ranging from earthy taupe to sunny mustard yellow. Whichever shade you choose, try styling the linen with other natural textures for a totally laid-back feel.

Summer décor isn’t just about colour, and if you tend to prefer a monochrome or earth-toned scheme, there are plenty of ways to embrace the season.

This Paradis bedding from Maisons du Monde, for example, has a summery tropical motif, but remains totally understated thanks to its black, white and beige colourway. It’s made from 100% cotton and features a practical button fastening making it super easy to change – try styling it with textured cushions to amp-up the boho vibes.
