As spring starts to give way to summer, it’s the perfect time to breathe new life into your home – and that starts from the ground up. Rugs are one of the easiest (and most fun!) ways to update your space seasonally. Whether you’re swapping out heavier winter textiles or just craving a fresh look, the right rug can completely transform your room.
Here are some of our favorite styles and tips to help you refresh your floors and embrace that spring-to-summer vibe:
1. Go Lighter with Color
Say goodbye to deep winter hues and hello to breezy, sun-washed tones. Think soft pastels, sandy neutrals, and muted blues and greens. These colors reflect more natural light and create an airy, relaxed feel – perfect for warmer months.
Try: Rugs in ivory, sky blue, sage, or blush pink to instantly lift a room.
2. Choose Breathable Materials
As temperatures rise, opt for rugs made with natural, breathable materials like cotton, jute, or wool flatweaves. These are lighter underfoot and better suited to warmer weather.
Great picks include:
- Cotton dhurries – soft, easy to clean, and easy to layer
- Jute rugs – durable and earthy, great for transitional style
- Low-pile wool rugs – still cozy, but not too heavy
3. Layer Like a Pro
Layering rugs is a designer secret that works year-round – but spring and summer are ideal for playing with textures. Try placing a colorful flatweave rug on top of a larger neutral jute base to add depth without making things feel heavy.
4. Bring the Outdoors In
Floral motifs, botanical prints, or nature-inspired patterns are perfect for this time of year. They mimic the beauty of the season and bring a little of the outside in – especially lovely if you’re not quite ready to commit to full summer brights.
5. Try Outdoor Rugs Indoors (or Vice Versa!)
Modern outdoor rugs are incredibly stylish and surprisingly soft. Use them in kitchens, sunrooms, or entryways for easy-to-clean versatility. And if you’re hosting spring get-togethers or BBQs, now’s the time to give your patio or deck a rug upgrade.
6. Roll with the Seasons
Don’t be afraid to switch things up! Store away heavier rugs and rotate in seasonal favorites. Not only does this help extend the life of your rugs, but it also gives your space a whole new look without a major redesign.
