Summer Reboot: How to Prepare Your Home and Hotel for the Hot Months
Summer brings with it long days, a sunny mood, and... the challenge of keeping our homes and guest rooms cool and fresh. When temperatures rise, heavy fabrics give way to lighter ones.
Here’s how you can turn your bedroom and bathroom into a cool oasis—and your hotel room into a five-star summer retreat—with just a few smart choices in bedding and towels, thanks to expert advice from HomeTex.
🌊 Bedding that "breathes"
The key to a good night's sleep in the summer is temperature regulation. Instead of relying solely on the air conditioner, opt for natural fabrics that don't trap heat.
100% Ranforce Cotton and Cotton Satin: Forget about synthetic blends. Pure cotton wicks moisture away from the body and allows the skin to breathe. In the HomeTex catalog, cotton satin offers not only a luxurious sheen but also a distinctively cool feel to the touch, making it ideal for hot summer nights.
Bamboo and TENCEL™ – Summer Savers: Bamboo and TENCEL™ fabrics have natural antibacterial properties and absorb moisture much better than regular cotton. They are exceptionally soft and create a "silky cool" sensation.
Lightweight microgel or cotton duvets: Replace your winter duvets with ultra-light summer options (about 150 g/m²) or switch entirely to thin cotton piqué (bedspreads) and sheets from HomeTex, which are easy to wash and dry quickly.
☀️ Towels: From the Bathroom to the Pool
Summer is the season for water—whether it’s a refreshing morning shower or relaxing by the pool.
For the bathroom: Lightweight and quick-drying
In the summer, high humidity makes it difficult for thick towels to dry. For homes and hotel rooms, it is more practical to opt for towels of medium density (between 400 and 450 g/m²). HomeTex’s professional series are soft and absorbent enough, but they dry much faster, preventing the development of unpleasant odors.
For the beach and the pool: A style that stands up to the sun
If you run a hotel with a pool or a guesthouse, high-quality beach towels are your calling card.
Look for double-sided towels—with a velour (sheared) side on one side (which doesn’t trap sand) and classic cotton terry on the other for excellent absorbency.
Choose indanthrene-dyed towels. This is a special technology that protects colors from fading due to chlorine in swimming pools, salty seawater, and strong sunlight—a standard we at HomeTex hold in very high regard.
🎨 Summer Color Trends: Sea Breeze and Citrus Freshness
The change of seasons is the perfect time to add some color. This year’s highlights in the HomeTex collections are:
Mediterranean blue and white: A classic combination that instantly brings to mind Greece, the sea, and a carefree spirit.
Citrus hues: Soft lemon yellow, juicy orange, or mint—these colors fill the room with energy.
Natural linen (unbleached): For fans of minimalism and the boho style, the earthy, unbleached tones evoke the feel of a beach house.
Advice for hoteliers from HomeTex:
If you’re going with classic white bedding, add a summery touch with accent pillows in turquoise, a "pique" blanket in sandy tones, or branded beach towels in a fresh color by the pool. Guests love these little details that scream "Vacation!".
