As Good Housekeeping’s senior home editor, I come across tons of home-related products, both good and bad. But there are some special finds that are just too great to keep to myself. That’s why I’m sharing my favorite home items with you — our readers — here on our website every month in the hope that you’ll appreciate them as much as I do.
Summer is all about focusing on fun and relaxation in every area of life — including your decor. The best place to start? Your bedroom. Freshening up the space can be as simple as adding playful patterns and lightweight fabrics and swapping in cooling bedding to help you sleep more soundly.
Here, you’ll find 10 affordable finds, including a fresh set of Tuft & Needle sheets that can help breathe new life into your bedroom this season. And if you need even more product recommendations, be sure to check out the winners of Good Housekeeping’s 2022 Best Bedding Awards.
Equal parts comfortable and supportive, this foam pillow is designed to conform to your sleep position. It aced the Good Housekeeping Institute’s shape-retention tests (it also got perfect scores for comfort), meaning it will hold its form night after night. Plus, it has cooling capabilities — a necessity for warm-weather months.

Geometric Throw Pillow Cover
A sofa isn’t the only suitable spot for patterned throw pillows. Your bed or side chair could use a few, too! This lively geometric pick is guaranteed to give your setup a cheery vibe for summer.
It’s never easy finding the right linen sheets. However, this set has a naturally rumpled, relaxed feel and comes in five classic colors that work well with just about any duvet cover. Plus, the weave of linen allows for more airflow, keeping your bed breezy even when it’s hot. (NB: Pair them with Tuft & Needle’s Mint Mattress to sleep cool all summer long.)
Rattan is one of those materials that has a way of giving a room a warm-weather feel. Use this classic basket to store books, throws — you name it.
When it comes to duvet covers, you can’t go wrong with this soft linen pick from Tuft & Needle that offers temperature-regulating benefits for a restful sleep. Made of 100% European flax, it’s available in seven hues including this dreamy soft blue.
Perfect for minimalists, this compact nightstand — built with high-quality oak or walnut — features a drawer with just enough space for your nighttime essentials (your phone, a charging cable, and a book) to hide clutter and foster a calming sleep environment.

Floral Semi Sheer Curtains
New window treatments are an overlooked way to refresh a room. Go for a delicate floral design like these semi-sheer linen panels, which allow morning light to seep into your space and wake you in a natural way.
Along with striking geometric bases, these ceramic table lamps also are equipped with USB ports. It doesn’t get more convenient than that!
