Why summer is the perfect time for DIY and interior design updates!

Here at Heugah Interiors, we believe that summertime, with its long, light-filled
evenings, warmer weather and bright summer flowers, presents an excellent
opportunity to breathe new life into your home. The summer holidays mean younger
family members could be persuaded to pick up a paintbrush or help with decluttering,
and trips to DIY stores for buying supplies are an excellent distraction from tablets,
smartphones and TV… So, let’s take a deeper dive into why summer is the perfect
season for refreshing your home and discover how our stunning rugs, throws, and
cushions can help you create a stylish and inviting space.

Embracing the light
The longer days of summer are the ideal time for painting projects. If you’ve ever started
painting a room in the winter, you’ll know that colours can look very different when
there’s an abundance of natural light. Plus, it’s tricky to see if you’re being accurate with
cutting in and getting the painting itself nice and even if you’re stuck with a single
lightbulb or some watery winter light! The sunny (we hope) days and lighter evenings
mean you can get a good look at colours when you’re trying to select the right shades
for your interiors scheme and will boost your painting powers. Clean lines and even
roller work is eminently possible when there’s lots of natural light. Plus, if you’re trying to
colour-match your paint with interiors accessories, you’re far more likely to get it right
with summer light. We can send samples of a huge number of our rugs, so you can
check if they will suit your home before you commit to buying.

Warm weather painting perks
Summer temperatures have their own perks when it comes to home improvement – you
can throw open the windows when you’re painting walls to help them dry more quickly,
perhaps even getting two coats done in one day. Plus, if you need to pop furniture
outside while you rearrange rooms or use outside space for sorting out your worldly
belongings, you’re more likely to get good weather in the summer. While your newly
painted walls dry to perfection, explore our outlet section, where you’ll find a stunning
selection of rugs to finish your new space in style. It’s the perfect opportunity to enhance
your home’s aesthetic without breaking the bank.

Of course, we all want warm and sunny weather so that we can enjoy lazy summer
days and long chilled out evenings in the garden. We’re adding more brands and
colourful designs to our indoor/outdoor rug selection all the time, so if you fancy
elevating your outdoor space, you know where to head! Don’t forget a cosy Hug Rug
woven throw – made from recycled plastic bottles – for when the sun goes down…

Transforming your sanctuary
When you’ve finished painting, cleaning, sorting and arranging, a well-placed throw or
cushion can instantly transform any room, imbuing it with inviting warmth and a touch of
personality. In our extensive range of interior accessories, you’ll discover an array of
beautifully crafted throws and cushions that are perfect for summer. From
indoor/outdoor cushions designed to withstand UV rays, damp and dirt to gorgeous faux
fur or velvet throws from Zinc and Villa Nova respectively, there’s something perfect for
your room. Let your imagination run wild as you mix and match textures and colours to
create a personalised haven.

     
So, this summer, don’t miss the opportunity to refresh your home and create an oasis of
tranquillity and style. Embrace the longer, light-filled evenings, relish the warmer
weather, and get on with that home project you’ve had on your to do list for an age. At
Heugah, we offer a wide selection of stunning rugs, throws, and cushions, all designed
to elevate your home and transform your living space into a summer sanctuary.
