Spring has sprung – 4 ways to welcome Spring into your home
The daffodils are out, snowdrops are blooming and the days are getting longer – that can only mean one thing in the UK, Spring is here.
Time to emerge out of the short wintery days and long dark nights, and into some warmer, longer (and hopefully sunnier) days.
It’s the perfect time to refresh your home with a little uplift with some new flooring. We’re talking brighter colours, lighter woods and fun happy patterns to give your home (and you) a boost.

Freshen up: Think about going lighter. Look at lighter wood, or Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) flooring to help lift the room, Amtico has recently launched their second installment in the Décor range in collaboration with The National Trust, with some beautiful new colours and patterns, perfect for a new season switch up.
A light oak, or even white or ash would really help lift the floor and room, it can add space and light to what would otherwise be a small darker room.
Add colour: Time to lose the wintery colour palette, and bring in brighter pops of colour throughout. Find inspiration in the vibrant blossoms surrounding you; daffodils, crocuses, and tulips offer a splendid spectrum of hues! Think bright yellows, perfect pinks and playful purples.
There are some fabulous striped carpets out there which bring in a variety of Spring like colours for you to choose from.
