Every year, when the weather heats up and the sun is out almost every day, I look at my room and want to change everything! I quickly talk myself out of this, but always end up making a few inexpensive revisions. So, what do I do to prepare my bedroom for the summer? Below are my five tips to bring your room into summer mode:
Take out your fan
Living on the tenth floor is nearly impossible without having a fan or air conditioner. It may not seem exciting, but without my fan I would never sleep.
Buy fresh flowers
I love to buy myself flowers! It’s a nice treat, and it’s also proven that having fresh flowers in your home makes you happier! I keep flowers on my window sill and it’s so lovely when you wake up to sun and flowers. It's a cheap way to brighten up your bedroom.
Summer scented candles
I am all for pumpkin spice or cranberry candles, but these scents remind of colder weather. At this time of year, I like to pull out some fresh scents. I can't get enough of Bath and Body Works three-wicked candles. Eucalyptus mint candle is my favourite, with Lavender Vanilla and Beautiful Day coming in a close second and third. These candles last a long time and, if bought when Bath and Body Works is having a sale, they are reasonably priced.

Change your bedding
I have a white duvet cover and light blue throw pillows. Changing your bedding can be expensive, but buying a new throw or decorative pillows can make old bedding appear new! I love this yellow decorative pillow from the bedding company Parachute Home, and am on the hunt for something similar to brighten my bedroom.
Mixing up your wall art
I have been working on a gallery wall for MONTHS, and am trying to find pretty pictures that are both artistic and light coloured to brighten up my bedroom. I think changing up wall art is a great way to make your room feel brand new without spending too much money. Etsy is an awesome place to find well-priced and unique prints. I really love the prints below, but I would obviously get my name on it! Check them out here.

I’m so thankful the weather is warming up. I can finally pull out my favourite summer dresses and sandals! I’d love to hear more tips on how to make your bedroom, or apartment, summer friendly!
