Discover the best fresh textiles for summer

With the arrival of warmer days, adapting your home to the new season becomes essential to ensure comfort and well-being. One of the most important, and often overlooked, elements is home textiles. Choosing the right materials for hot days can make all the difference in the quality of your rest and the overall feeling of freshness at home. In this article, Season Home Collection shares the best breathable and fresh textiles for the summer, helping you select the perfect bedding and accessories to stay comfortable and elegant during the hottest months.

Why switch your home textiles in summer?

During the warmer months, both ambient and body temperatures rise, making sleep more difficult. Heavy fabrics that retain heat and block airflow can cause discomfort, night sweats, and poor-quality sleep. Choosing fresh, breathable textiles helps regulate body temperature, absorb moisture, and provide a sense of lightness and freshness. Also, updating your decor with lighter fabrics gives your home a renewed look and matches the energy of the season. Even small adjustments make a difference, swap out pillowcases, throws, or towels for lighter, more breathable natural fabrics. These changes help create a visually lighter and more comfortable environment.

The best materials for hot weather

At Season Home Collection, we carefully select fabrics that combine comfort, quality, and design. For summer, these are our top material recommendations:

How to keep your home cool with summer textiles

Beyond material choice, small changes can have a big impact:

Replace duvets with lightweight summer quilts or throws.

Choose light colors, white, beige, or pastels, that reflect heat and sunlight.

Air out the home daily, especially early in the morning or late afternoon.

Use curtains made from linen or light cotton to let in light without overheating the space.

Swap decorative cushions for versions in breathable natural fabrics.

Summer styling: textiles and colors to refresh your space

Updating your home textiles for summer is also a way to refresh the look of each room and embrace seasonal colors.   Linen or cotton cushions create a relaxed and elegant look. Neutral-toned curtains increase natural light and add a sense of space. Lightly textured or solid-patterned quilts convey freshness and sophistication. Combine natural textures with elements like light wood, ceramic, or plant-based fibers for a true summer feel. Choose versatile pieces that can easily be stored or adapted for transitional seasons, extending their use.

How to care for your fresh summer textiles

To keep your textiles in great condition throughout the summer:


Wash bedding, towels, and pillowcases frequently to remove sweat and humidity.

Use gentle detergents and avoid harsh fabric softeners that can reduce breathability. Choose neutral detergents with no softeners.

Dry textiles outdoors whenever possible—the sun naturally sanitizes and keeps fabrics fresh.

Store winter textiles in proper storage bags and in dry places to preserve their colors and fibers.
