Sandy Toes and Wet Feet: Choosing the Best Floor for Your Beach House

The summer is around the corner, meaning long days spent at the beach are almost here! If you’re fortunate enough to have a place to unwind, relax, and enjoy the sea breeze, make sure your décor matches the environment. Beachy cushions aside, we can help with the starting point- choosing the best floor for your beach house!

Choosing Floors for a Beach House

There are several factors to consider when choosing floors for your beach house. First and foremost, be sure the material is long-lasting and resistant to moisture. Many people prefer floors with a distressed look that ties in with nautical elements. As an added bonus, these floors also help to conceal the sand/wet feet coming in and out.

Types of Floors Suitable for Beach Houses

TORLYS offers five flooring categories with a variety of colours and styles to suit all tastes. When it comes to create the perfect flooring canvas in your beach house, here’s some of our favourites:

TORLYS Everest XP SMART Hardwood floors in the colour Winter Hill Oak.

Smart Hardwood – EverestXP Designer in Winter Hill Oak

100% natural, eco-engineered hardwood, this floor features wide and long planks in a stained oak to match your beachy décor.

TORLYS EverWood Premier Vinyl SMART floors in the colour Beach House.

Bring Summer into your Home Décor

TORLYS knows that there’s nothing quite like the feeling you get in the middle of the summer! Whether it’s at a BBQ or by the beach, it’s time to embrace the summery mood. Colour has a known affect on human behaviours and moods, so it’s important to consider what shades and tones you’re incorporating in your space. If you’re looking for ways to incorporate that summer feeling into your home décor, look no further!

Pops of Colour

There’s nothing more summertime than bright, happy colours. Whether you prefer pastel shades or tend to gravitate towards neon, colour is the easiest way to brighten up your space.

Paint

Living room with yellow accent wall

Adding an accent wall or splashing out on an entire room is an instant way to refresh your space. The colourful paint colours can be outrageous and high impact, but even muted, pastel shades will add a pop to the room you’ve painted. Think about perhaps incorporating a light terracotta or yellow into your space to add a warm, sunny hue to a space.

Try out TORLYS Room Visualizer to test out different paint colours in a variety of scenes paired with our flooring selections.

Décor

Pillows: If you aren’t ready to incorporate colour via paint, seasonal décor for the summer is the easiest way to change the feeling in your space. Throw pillows in brighter shades instantly change a neutral couch to feel summery. Plus, you can incorporate patterned pillows like florals to bring some of the outside-in.

Art: Rather than changing a wall colour up, you might consider switching up what is on your walls instead. Incorporating art that uses bright, sunny colours or depicts the scene of a beach or a pool will remind you exactly what season we’re in!

Light Floors:

Perhaps you are looking to make a more permanent change to your space in order to add a brighter, happy feeling. Light floors open rooms up to make them feel bigger and brighter, creating a contemporary, artistic style to a home. If you’re looking for more tips on how to style light flooring, check out our previous blog here.
