Top Flooring Trends for Spring/Summer

If you are considering changing up your flooring and want something new and fresh, here are some of the trends to follow this summer.

1.Choose the Lighter Shades for your Hardwood Flooring

In summers, people tend to use lighter shades for their hardwood floors. These light colors brighten the rooms and make them look spacious. The colors like pecan and blonde are gaining popularity. Choose your hardwood floor with bright colors to give your home a flavor of spring. You can find the lighter shades in a variety of looks like hand-scraped or distressed or semi glossy surfaces.

2. Luxury Vinyl Plank Throughout; a Hot Flooring Trend

Gone are the days when it was believed that the wooden surfaces should be restricted only to the places away from moisture. The innovative solution like Luxury Vinyl Flooring is an answer to the busy households which are prone to spillovers and heavy foot traffic.

This summer, install Luxury Vinyl Flooring to the kitchen and your bathroom. It looks like a hardwood floor but it is more durable and less expensive. Furthermore, it is water-resistant so it can be safely installed into the areas which are prone to moisture.

 Luxury Vinyl Plank promises a fun-filled summer with a little or no worries about floor maintenance.

3. Beat the Heat with Natural Stone Tiles

Stone tiles are long-lasting and give your home the cool and classy look it deserves. In summers, the sand and gravel floor outside your main door and back yard absorbs and retains heat. This makes it very difficult to walk on such surfaces even in the afternoon when the temperature drops.

Install natural stone tiles inside as well as outside your house this summer. These tiles do not absorb as much heat as many other materials. If you walk on the floor, you can immediately feel its coolness under your feet.

Natural stone tiles are highly durable and water-resistant. You can use them as patio flooring, wall tiles or as tiles in and around the swimming pool. Natural stone tiles are available in different types and looks. Granite tiles are very durable and water-resistant. Porcelain and Ceramic tiles remain cool under your feet and can be available in anti-slip finish.

When it comes to outdoor flooring in summers, natural stone tiles are an ideal choice.

4. Cork- An Eco-Friendly Summer Flooring Option

Cork is made up of organic and renewable ingredients. It is not only sustainable but versatile and durable as well.

 Cork is a great insulator for both hot and cold temperatures. In winters, it retains the heat and keeps the home warm and in summers it keeps your home cool. Besides, it is anti-slip as well. You can safely install it in places where hardwood floors can’t be installed like kitchens. It is not entirely water-resistant and requires a sealing to prevent damage from water.

5. Carpet; Must-Try Summer Design Trends 

Give your home a wow factor by choosing a top-notch carpet. This summer the stripes and patterns are a popular choice for hallways and stairs.  An alternative to stripes is the zigzag pattern for the stairs. For the bedrooms, grey and white colors are a preferred option.

When it comes to texture, there is a wide variety to choose from. This summer luxurious loop pile and patterned cut pile carpets are trending. Some of the favorite colors this season are taupe, grey tones or grays mixed with browns. You can also use Runners to add a pop of color to your neutral-colored flooring.
