Cool, Casual Luxury with Summer Linens

It’s summertime and the living is easy, with the forecast calling for warm, sunny days and balmy nights. Whether you spend your summer aboard a yacht, on the beach or anywhere else your fancy leads you, here are some quick tips from Pioneer Linens Yacht & Estates Division for staying stylishly cool and comfortable:

Keep it natural: When the temperature rises, be sure to opt for linens made of 100 percent natural fibers, such as cotton and silk. Natural fibers breathe, while synthetics such as polyester do not. In a class of its own, silk keeps you naturally cool in summer and warm in winter.  Cotton is an equally great choice. Light, airy and comfortable as can be, it is easy to launder and conveniently available in an array of colors and patterns. Cotton is as casual and relaxed as a summer vacation!

There’s nothing quite like white:  Imagine a sunlit expanse of white Egyptian cotton!  There’s nothing as fresh, crisp and bold as summer white.  Known as the feng shui color of purity and innocence, white opens your décor to endless possibilities. If it’s not your primary color, you can add white accents to keep things bright and bold.

Cool colors for hot days: A palette of summer colors creates the perfect setting to highlight the beauty of your surroundings, on land or at sea. Like a gentle breeze through an open window, 100% Egyptian cotton in airy colors and refreshing fields of white can feel lighter than air.

Sand dollar stories: Whimsical images of shells, sand dollars and other marine patterns conjure up memories of summer fun.  There are many stories about sand dollars, one of which goes that the five marks on the sand dollar are actually five white doves that, when broken open and released, will spread peace and happiness throughout the world. Pioneer Yachts & Estate Division offers bedding ensembles including beach-themed comforters, duvets, sheets, pillows, towels and more. Fanciful patterns include seashells, starfish, coral and conch shells, as well as vibrant stripes and patterns in a spectrum of summer colors. Of course, if you prefer a more elegant look, we offer sophisticated summer bedding in chic designs and luxurious fabrics.

Keep it fresh: Clean sheets feel invigorating on a warm summer night, so it’s a good idea to launder your linens more often than usual during the hottest days of the year. Consider “sweetening” your linens by spraying them before ironing with a simple mixture of distilled water and a drop of lavender oil, or try the classic Lavender Ironing Spray  from Pioneer Linens. Then have a cool bath before slipping into the sheets for a heavenly night’s sleep!
