Brighten your bed with the colors and patterns of summer. You can find cheerful stripes and floral prints in seasonal tones such as popcorn yellow and honeysuckle pink. A nautical theme is also fun --- think seashells, fish and sailboats. Don't go overboard with patterns though --- for instance, use solid sheets with a floral sham and bedspread.

Introduce accessories that echo the theme of your bedding. If your spread is decorated with a beach scene, add a fun shell-covered box or bowl to your bedside table. If you use floral sheets, pick up that look with a vase of flowers in complimentary colors.
