End of Season: Rug Refresh

IT’S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN!

As we begin to approach the end of another beautiful season, we are now starting to think about ways we can give our homes a refresh! Refreshing your home at the end of the season can breathe new life into your space and create a more comfortable and inviting atmosphere. 

Depending on where you are in the world, your next season may be warmer or cooler than the previous. If you’ve just had summer, you may be thinking about adding in warmth and cosiness into your home as you transition to cooler months. If you’ve just had winter, you might be thinking of ways you can brighten up your space, and move to use more lightweight and natural fibres and materials. 


TOP TIP!

A rug will instantly change the look and feel of your space. You could start by swapping and rotating rugs in your home to different rooms. Or alternatively, adding in a new rug to your home will give it a completely different look! 

For autumn and winter, wool rugs are an excellent choice. They will add a sense of warmth and comfort to your home. You could go for one with an extra fluffy pile, or chunky weave that you can really sink your feet into - making them feel nice and toasty!

For spring and summer, you could look at using lighter more natural fibre options in your home. Jute or cotton rugs are excellent lightweight and eco-friendly rug options. You can explore all nature fibre rugs here

Our TUMBLRUG machine washable rugs are perfect for seasonal styling! Not only are they easy-to-clean and washable, but they are also lightweight and foldable, meaning then can be folded up and stored away each season - just like linen and towels!  


MORE IDEAS! 

Here are some more ideas for refreshing your home as one season transitions into another:

SWAP OUT TEXTILES AND FABRICS: Change the throw pillows, blankets, and curtains to reflect the colours and textures associated with the upcoming season. Lighter, brighter fabrics for spring and summer, and warmer, cosier ones for autumn and winter.

ROTATE DECOR ITEMS: Rearrange or rotate decorative items, such as vases, sculptures, or artwork, to give your space a fresh look. Consider incorporating seasonal decor elements to enhance the overall theme.

SEASONAL FLOWERS AND PLANTS: Introduce seasonal flowers and plants to add a natural and vibrant touch to your home. Consider potted plants, bouquets, or even seasonal wreaths for your front door.

SWITCH OUT BEDDING: Change your bedding to match the temperature and mood of the season. Lighter and cooler fabrics for warmer months and heavier, warmer bedding for colder seasons can make a significant difference.

CLEAN AND DECLUTER: Take the opportunity to deep clean your home, decluttering and organizing each room. This can create a more open and refreshing environment and help you get rid of items you no longer need.

UPDATE WALL COLOURS: If you're feeling ambitious, consider repainting a room or an accent wall in a colour that complements the season. Alternatively, you can update smaller accents like throw pillows or wall art to reflect seasonal tones.

SCENTED CANDLES AND DIFFUSERS: Change the scents in your home to match the season. Fresh and floral scents for spring and summer, and warm, spiced fragrances for autumn and winter can enhance the seasonal atmosphere.

OUTDOOR SPACES: If you have outdoor spaces, such as a patio or balcony, refresh the furniture, add new cushions, and perhaps incorporate outdoor lighting or seasonal decorations.

UPDATE LIGHTING OPTIONS: Consider changing the lighting in your home. Switch to brighter lights for the darker months and softer, warmer lighting for the brighter seasons. Adding or updating lamps can also make a significant impact.

ROTATE ARTWORK AND PHOTOGRAPHS: Change the artwork or photographs on display to reflect the current season or your evolving tastes. It's an easy way to give your space a fresh and personal touch.

 

💡KEY TAKEAWAY: 

AND REMEMBER…

Refreshing your home doesn't always require a complete overhaul. Small changes and thoughtful adjustments can make a big difference in creating a renewed and inviting environment.
