A bunch of fresh wildflowers instead of a floral arrangement. Messy beach hair rather than perfect hair days. And last-minute barbeques in place of formal dinner parties. Yup, there’s something about summertime that means letting go of rigid perfection and bringing in some of the unfussy, eclectic magic of the natural world.

This week’s Instagram trends perfectly reflect the current season, with fanciful, playful looks sure to give your bedroom all the country charm of a breezy 19th-century farmhouse.

So if you’re tired of the all-white mantra or the velvet furniture that creases every time you sit on it—keep reading. Here are five laid-back farmhouse looks to embrace in your most restful room.

We love this “cottagecore” floral bedding from @antiquefarmhouse because it allows for the imperfections of summer—all while bringing out the casual charm of any space.

“People love this style so much because it brings them back to simpler times when we were surrounded by fresh flowers and the beauty of nature,” says designer Janice Ruste, of A Calming Home. “This kind of aesthetic also resonates with those who want their city life to give off that same peaceful feeling as a cottage garden.”

Speaking of simpler times, the beautiful texture of this wicker bedside table from @themillys1930shome really brings in all the feel-good pastoral vibes of a country bedroom.

“A wicker bedside table is the hottest trend of the season,” says interior designer Andrew Gaugler, founder of DIY and gardening site Best of Machinery. “Wicker incorporates the right amount of texture in your minimal bedroom. It manages to create a relaxing yet ultrastylish environment in your space.”

For decor enthusiasts looking to make a different kind of summery statement in their bedroom, consider incorporating some bold cherry-red accents, as we see in this post from @chairishco.

“In the past, red was seen as a bold color and not something you’d want on your bed,” says Ruste. “Nowadays, it’s more popular because of its vibrant appearance, which creates an energetic feel for those who found themselves begrudgingly stuck at home.”

Another way to incorporate some fun floral block print into your nontraditional summer bedroom? With a roll of retro wallpaper like in this post from @makemynewbuildpretty.

“The appeal of retro wallpaper is undeniable,” says Ruste, “especially if you want to add some personality and history to your home. And there are so so many options available that will fit any taste. It’s often a great way to bring in a traditional look while giving a cozy modern feel.”
