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:
A natural hardwood look with the benefits of a durable laminate.

TORLYS knows that there is nothing quite like the companionship of a furry four-legged friend. They bring us an incredible amount of joy and happiness, and truly become valued members of our families. Owning a pet is a massive commitment and they are so much more than just animals. They require ample time, love, and attention to make sure they thrive! Optimizing your home for your fur baby is the first key step in providing them with a loving forever home.
Below are five tips TORLYS has outlined to make your home more pet friendly. Follow these tips and you can be sure that you’ve created a safe and welcoming space for your new friend!
1. Create a Dedicated Space for Your Pet
Like humans, pets need a small area to call their own. Pick a bed that will fit your pet’s size. Try to pick out a plush-looking bed for your pets’ comfort, and maybe even get a few pillows and a cozy blanket for additional comfort! You can place the bed in the living room, one of the bedrooms or set up an area in your den or family room. Try your best to pick out a spot that looks cozy! If you’re welcoming in a cat into your home, find a suitable place to place the kitty litter. Be sure to load up a basket full of toys while you’re out shopping for your furry friend!
2. Pet-Proof Your House
Cats and dogs but especially puppies are naturally curious animals and will put random objects in their mouth if they’re left lying around on the ground, which could be a potential choking hazard. Pet-proofing your space is a critical step to make sure your pet stays safe. It’s best to make sure all loose objects are put away prior to bringing your new pet home and its good practice to routinely tidy up objects such as clips, pins, remotes, bags, and clothes that may be lying around in easy to reach areas.
3. Use Stain Resistant Fabrics
We all know that pets can leave behind yucky messes every now and then. Being proactive is key if you want to avoid a costly repair job! Using stain resistant fabrics to cover furniture such as beds and couches will save you a lot of hassle and time down the road.
4. Choosing the Right Flooring

The kitchen is the hub of the home, which means both its durability and looks are important. From family breakfasts to holiday dinners, everyone flocks to the kitchen, meaning your kitchen floors will be used more than any other floors in your home. With that in mind, choosing kitchen flooring is an important decision to make. TORLYS can help you find a floor that can withstand your everyday lifestyle and high foot traffic, while maintaining its good looks for years to come.
Kitchen Flooring Guide
Your kitchen sets the stage for the style and function of your space. When finding the perfect floor for your kitchen, keep in mind factors like lifestyle, comfort, durability, maintenance, and of course, your sense of style.
1. Lifestyle
If you spend a lot of time in your kitchen, consider the traffic flow and the amount of foot traffic your floors will need to withstand. Think about how much your kitchen will be used and whether your floor needs to be resistant to a great deal of wear and tear.
With your lifestyle and household schedules in mind, you might consider floors that are sound absorbent to prevent some of the sounds travelling from your kitchen throughout your home.
2. Comfort
Comfort is key for your kitchen floors. If most of your time is spent in the kitchen, you’ll want something that is soft and warm underfoot. Nobody likes how hard and cold porcelain tiles can be and how your back feels after standing for long periods of time. Surfaces that act as a natural insulator and have a little cushion to them are the best floors to improve your comfort.
We offer innovative flooring options that are high on comfort. TORLYS Cork floors look and feel great, plus they’re a renewable resource and natural insulator, making them an ideal choice for your kitchen. Our TORLYS CorkWood collections combine the beauty of hardwood, the durability of laminate, and the comfort of cork. TORLYS CorkPlus™ Blue underlay is also available with several TORLYS Smart Floors collections, offering natural air cushioning for comfort, sound absorption, and thermal insulation.
3. Durability
Spills, dropped items, and scratches can ruin lower quality floors that aren’t resilient to the demands of a busy kitchen. Durable floors that are waterproof, scratch and dent resistant can help keep your floors looking as good as new. Choose durable floors that will endure your active household and keep their looks for years to come.
4. Maintenance
Constant vacuuming, washing, scrubbing, and resurfacing are all tasks of the past. It’s become more important to consider how much maintenance you are willing to do on your floors. Unlike carpets, lower maintenance floors won’t hold on to dust and dirt. Instead, maintenance can be simple: use a clean, untreated dust mop or vacuum, wipe up spills quickly with a cloth or sponge, and clean as required with TORLYS EcoCare Cleaning Kit.
5. Style
And last, but certainly not least, consider your personal sense of style. If you’re doing a complete home renovation, you have a little more freedom when choosing your new kitchen floors. Create a few different mood boards to see what cabinet, countertops, flooring designs, and colour palettes work well together.
If you’re only replacing your floors, make sure to match them with your existing kitchen. Kitchen cabinets, floors and countertops tend to cover more surface area than your kitchen walls, so the colour and design of these three surfaces has a bigger impact on the look of your kitchen. Make sure to also consider the flooring throughout your house to create a cohesive design. This will create a flow through your home’s décor from room to room, making your space feel more open.
Choose a floor that complements your style and you’ll be happy for many years to come with your decision.
Cleaner Floors Start with TORLYS
We often think some of the dirtiest spots in our home are the surfaces we touch constantly — including doorknobs, faucets and counters — when in fact the area that retains the most bacteria is right under our feet. While you can’t always prevent bacteria from entering your home, you can proactively protect your floor thanks to revolutionary antimicrobial flooring protection available in a wide range of flooring solutions exclusively from TORLYS.
TORLYS antimicrobial protection is offered in most TORLYS Smart Floors. Certain floors feature antimicrobial technology in the finish, core, and underlay, while others feature it in only one or two areas.
TORLYS antimicrobial product protection is available in:
Please refer to our Product Filter page to see which antimicrobial features each floor has.

Summer is here which means we’re spending more days at the cottage. With less travel happening, the warm weather months may have you thinking about getting your cottage ready for a summery staycation! Whether you have a traditional cottage or a beach house, TORLYS has the design trends to brighten up the look of your second home. Below are some tips for creating a beautiful and comfortable cottage this summer.
Keep Paint Colours Light and Airy
Regardless of whether you have a vintage, rustic, or modern design style, the choice in paint colour will set the tone for your cottage. The goal is to keep the space light and airy by choosing paint colours that are simple and have a neutral base, inviting as much light into the room as possible.
It can be difficult to select your paint with so many colour options available. Make this decision simple – paint everything in an all-white palette! Picking the ideal white for your summer home can be influenced by its surroundings. Consider the flooring, furniture, and any additional accessories you already have in your space. To help guide you in making the right decision, see how designers choose the best white paint colours to give your cottage an uplifting, easygoing feeling.
The best way to achieve a cozy cottage look is through accessorizing with your favourite décor items. Lighting is essential to set the mood for a space. By layering different types of lighting – general, task, focal, or decorative – it can create the ultimate cozy room.
Décor with pops of colour in a complementary palette can add character to your space. Incorporate colour through accessories like books, flowers, graphic paintings, vibrant dishes, or cushions. Adding lots of these accessories in varying colours makes the space shabby chic. Or you can opt for a more muted colour story with simple additions for a cleaner look.
Cottage Flooring Options
TORLYS offers a wide range of flooring options that meets the unique demands of cottage living. We have a few recommendations that will perform well and look great in your cottage.

Light floors open rooms up to make them feel bigger and brighter, creating a contemporary, artistic style to a home. They’re popular in Scandinavian interior design, are less sensitive to sunlight and show less dent and scratches than their darker counterparts.
Since pale floors aren’t used as often as dark floors, people are unsure of how to style them and find it difficult to design their space with them. But we’re here to tell you not to shy away from light floors. With the right paint, furniture, and understanding of different wood shades, you’ll be able to find the right light floors for you.
Pale Floors to Suit Your Walls
If you love the colour of your floor and want to keep your space light and airy, consider painting your walls at least two shades darker or lighter from your floors. This will prevent the two surfaces from blending in together while keeping it fresh.
If you’re looking to add some pops of colour, you can try going the darker route. The great thing about light wooden floors is that you can use darker, dramatic paint without making the room look small and enclosed.
Take paint samples home with you and see how they look on your walls at different times of the day and to see how they look next to your floors. Comparing a picture to an in-store sample just isn’t as reliable because a room with a southern exposure will make a wall look brighter and lighter while a room with a northern exposure has walls that look darker and duller.
Choose the Right Colours
When selecting an accent colour for your pale floors, follow the feel of your floor. If your flooring has cool hues to it, select accents that are cooler. Blues, bright greens, purples, and grey-greens are all considered cold tones. You can also bring in white furniture with blue undertones to create a cool feeling and looking area.
Pale floors with warmer hues work well with warm colours such as soft white. These colours include golds, yellows, oranges, and reds. You can also make green into a warmer colour by adding yellow to it. If the feel of your floor and your accent colours don’t match, your light hardwood could actually make your walls look dull. To find out the true hue of your floor, put a clean white sheet of paper to make the undertones of your floor pop. Check online resources to find out what the latest colour trends are and to find inspiration for warm, comforting hues and bright colour pops.
Use the Right Wood Accents
If your existing accents and furniture are a different hue or grain of wood than the light hardwood floor you want, never fear, you can make it work. Wood with different finishes can go together, we just recommend you follow these general guidelines.
Before you select your new hardwood floor, look at the wood in your home. What species is it? Pick a floor that is in the same wood family to create a cohesive look. Light wood has a more modern feel than darker wood such as cherry, so try to keep the mood of the wood consistent and your room will come together.
When it comes to matching grain, here’s the rule: do or don’t! You should either include multiple grains of wood in your space or stick to one. Avoid having one area of the room with different grains of wood and the rest of the area featuring only one.
If you are combining wood finishes and grains, bring them together with one bold, distinctive accent colour. Splash the hue on your walls and include it in accent pieces around the room to bring the space together.
TORLYS has a wide selection of flooring that will open up any space to make your home feel brighter. While darker floors tend to be bold and dramatic, pale floors are contemporary, airy and artistic.
Visit your local TORLYS dealer to see what we have to offer and to speak to a knowledgeable sales representative about our collections and to discuss what flooring would be best for your home. You can also browse online and order samples that will be delivered right to your home.
Replacing the floors in your home takes time, research, and lots of thought. That’s why it’s important to make the right decision and choose an option that will look good and last for a long time. The goal is to invest well and not have any regrets in the future.
Remember these tips during your floor-buying journey:
1. Think Like an Investor
Ask yourself these three questions:
Will I like these floors in five years?
Will I like them in ten?
Are they durable enough to withstand my active lifestyle and maintain their looks?
Think about how far your money will go. Spending a little less now could mean spending more in the future.
2. Know Your Stuff
Spend some time doing research. Research different flooring brands and compare their philosophies, practices, and products. Remember that flooring is more than what meets the eye and, while it is important it looks good, it’s also important you decide what features and benefits matter most in your home.
For transparent information, read online reviews and ask your network about their opinions for different products.
3. Understand Quality
Make sure you’re getting your money’s worth by knowing the answers to these questions:
How are the products made?
Is the company’s construction process accessible? If a company is transparent about its manufacturing process then they don’t have anything to hide.
Does the company provide good customer service?
Is there a way to get in touch in case of any problems? It’s important to have easy communication with a company you buy expensive products from.
Where is the product sold?
Products sold in big-box stores are generally all about price and aren’t as reputable when it comes to long-lasting performance.
4. Know Your Indoor Environment
Nobody knows your home’s indoor environment like you do. If your basement is very humid, consider waterproof flooring. TORLYS has several beautiful waterproof flooring options you can explore using the product filter on our website.
Try to understand the benefits of different certifications and their impact of compliance with strict environmental standards. For example, CARB (California Air Resources Board), NALFA (North American Laminate Flooring Association), and FloorScore®. Floors with these official seals meet or exceed the toughest indoor quality standards, offering peace of mind to homeowners.
Discounters tend to treat flooring as a commodity instead of as a key ingredient in your home renovation. Product malfunctions, especially related to indoor air quality, have recently come from discount flooring warehouses. That’s not an accident. A lack of concern for product quality and caring only about price leads to errors that homeowners end up paying for. Keep this in mind when making your purchase.
5. Visit a Reputable Flooring Store
Visiting a reputable flooring store can help you discover the right floors for you. Retailers who specialize in flooring know their stuff, so why not take advantage? Discuss cost, materials, and installation for a better understanding of what’s out there. Specialty retailers also work with experienced installers, which saves you time and trouble.
Find a trusted TORLYS dealer near you through the Dealer Locator on our website.
6. Buy a Brand Name
Some people consider brand names overrated. But the reality is, established reputations can take a lot of hard work to achieve. It takes many years of providing good quality, reliable products, and excellent customer service to build a strong name.
Choosing a company like TORLYS as your flooring provider means you can rely on your flooring for years, or decades, from the day of your purchase.
7. Discuss Warranties
Don’t believe everything a company says about its quality. A general rule of thumb is good quality products come with good warranties.
Things to look for in a warranty:
A Pro-Rating: If a brand’s warranty is prorated you don’t lose value for your product if you need it replaced over time.
A Satisfaction Guarantee: These guarantees mean that you get a trial run with the product before a full-blown commitment.
TORLYS Peace of Mind Assurance provides a superior warranty, assuring you peace of mind for years to come.
8. Visualize your flooring
Once you’ve done your research and settled on some flooring options, it’s time to understand how the floors will actually look in your home. Consider ordering samples of flooring so you can see the colours up close and in person. This also allows you to see the flooring under your lighting and against your existing décor.
TORLYS also offers helpful options like our Room Visualizer tool to help preview any TORLYS floor in a variety of scenes –even in your own space! The Visualizer provides a close estimation of what the flooring will look like once installed.
With these eight tips, you’re sure to make an informed, confident decision when it comes to your new flooring. Through the taking the time to research and think through your decision, you’ll be happy with your investment for years to come. If you choose TORLYS, you can start browsing your options at our website today!
If you live in a condo or an older home with the original floor plan, chances are your home is space-challenged. Building permits, retaining walls and your budget can stop you from tearing walls down to create a bigger room.
This year, we are spending more time within the four walls of our home and the space can feel even more confining. Luckily, there are other ways to make a room look and feel bigger. Carefully chosen and installed floors and well-placed furniture will help you create a bigger space without the fuss of a large renovation.
Here are a few creative tricks that will make your small room feel bigger without having to change your square footage.
How to Use Flooring to Create a Larger Space:
Large planks vs small strips
Long, wide planks make a space less busy and airier the same way a plain rug is a better choice versus a rug with a small print.
Install parallel or diagonal flooring
Flooring that is either parallel with the longest wall in your home or installed diagonally takes away from a room’s lack of size and achieves an elongated feel.
Unify your floors
By having the same flooring throughout your home you’re creating a sense of one large space instead of multiple small spaces. This creates an open concept feel without having to tear down any walls. Bathrooms are an exception though, as they have higher levels of wetness and humidity, needing flooring that accommodates these factors.
Dark and light floors work
Light paint colours are typically recommended to make rooms feel bigger but when it comes to flooring, dark and light floors can both be used to make a space look bigger if you use the right paint and furniture. What’s more important is carrying the same kind of flooring throughout your space.
Other Tips for Making Your Space Look Bigger:
Use light and cool paint colours
Light and cool colours make a room feel airy and more open. Using the same colour around your home but varying in shades creates a cohesive space but also adds some colour. For example, paint your walls or custom shelving just a few shades dark than your mouldings to create some contrast while maintaining a cohesive look.
De-clutter and keep things off the floor
The more you can see your floor the bigger your space looks. Either throw away what you don’t need, store it in the garage, or install built-in shelving, but keep as much free space as possible.
You can also show your floors more by choosing furniture with thin legs and glass surfaces.
Avoid heavy, solid furniture
Going with the point above, choose light furniture that doesn’t sit on the floor and has thin features.
Focus on height
Use full-length paintings, curtains and blinds (even if your windows are small), and consider using wallpaper or a different colour of paint on your ceiling to draw everyone’s eyes up. If you want to keep things simple, paint your ceiling the same colour as your wall. This makes it hard to see the parameters of your space, making it bigger.
Hang mirrors
Although mirrors are usually hung to show a reflection, they can be used as a piece of art and to enlarge a space. With endless frame options, you can choose a mirror that is modern or classic to enhance your room’s décor. Plus, the reflection of your space (especially if placed in front of a window) can make a room appear bigger than it actually is.
Put down a striped carpet
If your flooring isn’t parallel with your longest room dimension, put down a long carpet with stripes in the same direction as your longest wall to bring attention to the longest surface of your space.
Pull furniture away from the walls
When there is room between your walls and your furniture it looks like you have room to spare.
Buy multi-functional furniture
Ottomans with storage space can be used as a coffee table are great for hiding blankets, movies, and board games. Plus, multi-functional furniture means you need less furniture, giving you more floor space.
Natural light
Skylights, solar tubes, and large windows are a great source of natural light and create an airy, open feel.
As we spend more time in our homes this year, we are more aware of the space we live in. Using these tips, we can make our space feel less claustrophobic. And if you’re having trouble finding the right floors for your space, visit a TORLYS Dealer. Your local dealer will be happy to help you find the perfect TORLYS floor for your space and lifestyle.
Our guest blogger Alison Jacobson, The Safety Mom, is back again this week to talk new ways to thing about designing the interior of your home now and in the future as a result of stay at home orders. Read on for Alison’s tip towards home redesign ideas that families will be thinking about in the future.
A lot of how we live our lives is changing due to the pandemic. More companies are realizing that work-from-home situations are not only possible but might be necessary in the future. We’re learning how to find our personal space and manage when the entire family is home all day. While we all hope that we never need to be under a quarantine like this again, it’s quite possible that we will and it’s making us take a look at how our homes are set-up.
“Cozy and Calm” will be more important.
Especially when you have young kids you’ve been entertaining all day, a place to escape to is critical to maintain your sanity. This could be redesigning your bathroom with a spa tub and skylights or adding small items such as a plant (studies have proven that indoor plants reduce stress levels and boost your mood) or a wall hanging or just a fresh coat of paint. Consider turning a small area of your bedroom into a meditation area or even redesigning a closet. Once again, some paint, a meditation pillow and a small table for a Buddha statue and some candles can transform it into a Zen oasis.
You can even update your floors with TORLYS’ soft and warm cork floorsto warm your space. Formal dining rooms have been less important than casual gathering spaces for quite some time, but now more than ever people will be looking for places where the entire family can do activities or watch Netflix. Outdoor spaces will also become more important. We just created an area in our backyard for a firepit where we can all chill out as a family and roast s’mores or my hubby and I can have a quiet time with a blanket and a glass of wine.
Before you go tearing up that outdated kitchen and busting through your budget, take heart: just a few (more affordable) strategic upgrades could work just as hard for your home’s resell value as a full remodel. We’ve outlined a few key home renovation details that, combined, will make for a beautiful, durable facelift with added benefits for prospective homebuyers.
Four Small Home Renovations to Consider
1. Lay a Long-Lasting Home Renovation Foundation
If the old floor in your kitchen needs to go, but you’re not looking to spring for the expense of hardwood, consider vinyl flooring. Vinyl comes in hundreds of beautiful colors and styles and makes a fantastic first impression upon entering the kitchen. It’s also quicker and easier to install, which helps if you’re looking to move in or sell soon.
TORLYS combines beauty and resilience at an affordable price point and can transform a room without compromising values or budget. In addition, with built-in Microban® protection against mold, mildew and odor-causing bacteria, the added value of your kitchen home renovation to a prospective buyer is priceless: a healthier, cleaner home, with less germs for their family to worry about.
2. Swap in New Sinks and Fixtures
Two simple, yet stylish add-ons are sinks and faucets. Drop-in sinks, especially deep ones, are always desirable, and so easy—they literally “drop in” to a hole in the countertop, plus the installation costs very little. Faucets are fashion statements in themselves; look for adjustable, clean design with a striking silhouette, and if you choose a brand with the built-in antimicrobial protection of Microban®, that design aesthetic will be protected from mold and mildew for the product’s lifetime. Not a bad added benefit for a buyer looking for both beauty and ease of care!
3. Let There Be Light
Update lighting fixtures with brighter, more energy-efficient ones, and you’ll be helping the earth stay healthy, too. They’re no more expensive than traditional bulbs, but the luxe feel they bring justifies a higher asking price overall. While you’re at it, look into lighting switches and dimmers, which add a customized, personal touch. Finally, when installing, aim for a mix of natural, overhead, and under-cabinet lighting. Under-cabinet lights create drama and a warm glow, are easy to install and can be added under your existing upper kitchen cabinets.
4. Revamp with New Hardware
Whether your design aesthetic is brushed silver or glowing bronze, a simple swap of the right hardware adds a cohesive, elegant touch throughout your kitchen remodel without breaking the bank. Home renovation superstores carry a great selection of door, cabinet and drawer hardware.
