When we think of summer in the UK, we picture longer days, open windows, the smell of fresh cut grass – and perhaps the occasional sun-soaked heatwave. But have you ever considered what the change in season means for your flooring?
At Frankly Flooring, we believe summer is the perfect time to refresh your interiors. Whether you’re tackling a full home update or simply want to make your space feel lighter and brighter, the right flooring can completely transform the mood and comfort of your home.
Why Consider Seasonal Flooring Updates?
British summers may be short, but they’re mighty when it comes to wear and tear. Think kids dashing in and out from the garden, muddy paws from countryside walks, or beach sand making its way indoors. Add increased footfall from entertaining guests, and suddenly your floors are doing overtime.
Top Flooring Tips for a Summer-Ready Home
1. Embrace Lighter Tones
Lighter woods like oak or ash, and soft neutral carpets, help create an airy, relaxed atmosphere – especially when paired with natural sunlight.
2. Consider Durable, Low-Maintenance Options
Luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) or laminate flooring are ideal for busy households. They’re easy to clean and resistant to those accidental spills from BBQs or summer cocktails.
3. Add Seasonal Rugs for Flexibility
Not quite ready for a flooring overhaul? A seasonal rug is a simple, affordable way to change the look and feel of a room. Go for something breathable like jute or cotton to add texture without heat retention.
4. Protect Your Floors from the Elements
Place door mats at entryways and encourage a no-shoes policy during wet weather. This keeps outdoor debris at bay and extends the life of your floors.
5. Upgrade Your Conservatory or Garden Room
These often-overlooked spaces benefit hugely from stylish, temperature-friendly flooring. Our range of water-resistant LVTs and stylish hardwoods can bring a touch of class while standing up to the changing British climate.
