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

Posted on by torlys

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:

Summer Design Trends for Your Cottage

Posted on by torlys

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.

Create a Cozy Cottage with Décor!

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.
