Summer Decor Ideas for your Master Bedroom
Not long ago, I shared a post outlining five essential tips for giving your master bedroom a refreshing makeover for the summer season. That article inspired me to take my own advice and revamp our bedroom’s look by incorporating new summer bedding and updated lighting. Our bedroom has a light and airy feel year-round, but it can easily adapt to the changing seasons with the addition of heavier or lighter textiles.
The neutral color palette of our walls (you can read about our paint choices here) and furniture provides a versatile backdrop for seasonal decorating. I recommend establishing a ‘neutral base’ in any room of your home, as this allows you to easily introduce new elements without overwhelming the space. To find the perfect summer bedding, I turned to Walmart’s impressive selection of home decor items.
Having previously discovered many great finds for my teenage daughter’s bedroom refresh (read more about that here), I knew Walmart would be a great resource for our master bedroom. The retailer offers an extensive range of furniture, bedding, and home decor items that can be shipped directly to your doorstep. Many of these items are also affordably priced, with plenty of deals to be had (don’t miss them!).
With this vast array at my fingertips, I quickly found the ideal summer bedding ideas for our bedroom. To complete our master bedroom makeover, I decided to update our lighting by introducing accent pillows in contrasting colors and more streamlined bedside lamps. Mission accomplished! The before-and-after photos showcase the transformation, with a gallery of summer decor ideas for your own master bedroom below.

Summer Bedding Ideas And Updated Lighting
Bedding Idea: Chenille White 3-piece Quilt Set
For those familiar with my blog, this recommendation won’t come as a surprise. Across all seasons and bedroom posts, I’ve consistently advocated for a white quilt as the foundation for seasonal bedding. This versatile piece of bedding creates a clean slate for adding pops of color and texture throughout the year.
I had yet to own a chenille quilt set prior to this purchase, but I was blown away by its value (not to mention its stunning appearance)!
The textured finish it brought to our bed was unparalleled, and its lightweight design made it an ideal choice for warm summer nights. It’s truly a win-win.
Bedding Idea: White Duvet 3-piece Set
Adding a touch of elegance to our bedroom, we placed a white tri-folded duvet on our bed. To incorporate lighter-colored textiles into our bedding without breaking the bank, I opted for a simple yet effective solution – swapping out our duvet covers and pillow shams with crisp white ones. The affordable set I picked up from Walmart did the trick, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.
There’s something undeniably cozy about a duvet folded at the base of your bed, creating a soft and fluffy layer that instantly adds warmth to the space.
Bedding Idea: Contrasting Decorative Pillows
I’m absolutely smitten with the decorative pillows I discovered at Walmart! The grey ones with linen covers and grey/white fringes are a fabulous summer touch – perfect for adding a light, airy feel to our bed. And let’s not forget about the navy chenille pillows, which bring an extra layer of texture and visual interest to the mix.
What really sets these decorative pillows apart is their ability to tie together the contrasting colors and textures on our bed, creating a cohesive look that’s perfect for summer. The chunky tassel details are just the icing on the cake – they add a playful touch that brings everything together perfectly.
Summer Decor Idea: Updated, Slender Lighting
As I pondered ways to optimize our bedside lamps, I realized they were taking up valuable table space. The solution? Hang a wall sconce! It not only freed up space but also provided excellent lighting. The same plug-in swing arm sconce that impressed me in my teen daughter’s bedroom makeover proved to be a game-changer for cozy ambiance. I adore having wall sconces in bedrooms, and this one instantly elevated the design. Plus, it was incredibly easy to install.
When we stay up late at night, this cozy sconce will be perfect. With our summer bedding in place, I’m thrilled with how our master bedroom turned out – both aesthetically and functionally. I’d love to hear your thoughts on these summer decor ideas or how you can incorporate them into your own space. Here’s to a cozy and inviting bedroom!
