Summer means longer days, family BBQs and visitors popping by at a moment’s notice. Whether you’re hosting the in-laws, planning a garden party or getting your home rental-ready, this is the season when your floors see a lot of action.
At Frankly Flooring, we know that the right flooring doesn’t just look good – it also needs to perform well under sandy feet, muddy paws and the occasional spilled Pimm’s! If you’re looking for a quick, impactful home refresh this summer, your floors are the perfect place to start.
Why Summer is the Smart Season for Flooring
Thanks to the drier weather and longer daylight hours, summer is a great time to upgrade your flooring. Materials like engineered wood and luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) can be fitted faster and more efficiently when there’s less moisture in the air. And if you’re replacing carpet, you’ll appreciate how quickly rooms air out during the warmer months.
Whether it’s your hallway, living room, or holiday let that needs attention, we can help you create a look that’s stylish, durable, and guest-ready.
Flooring That’s Built for the Season
Summer living often means more foot traffic – from kids running in and out of the garden to guests exploring your home. That’s why we often recommend:
- LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile): Water-resistant, hard-wearing, and available in a wide range of styles including wood and stone effects – ideal for busy family areas.
- Engineered Wood: Classic and elegant with better resistance to temperature changes than solid wood. A great choice for open-plan spaces.
- Natural Carpet: Lightweight wool and sisal carpets are breathable and beautiful – perfect for bedrooms and quieter areas where you want a soft underfoot feel.
These materials are not only practical but offer timeless appeal that works year-round.
Lighten Up Your Look
Summer is also a great excuse to brighten up your interiors. We’re seeing a rise in demand for light oak, soft greys and bleached finishes – tones that reflect sunlight and make rooms feel fresh and spacious. Paired with light fabrics, greenery, and natural textures, new flooring can completely transform a space without the need for major renovations.
Hosting Guests or Letting a Property?
If you’re preparing a holiday let, Airbnb, or guest room, flooring is an investment that can boost your property’s appeal and durability. We can advise you on options that look fantastic in listing photos and stand the test of time with minimal upkeep.
