Summer’s on the way, and that means it's time to shake off the heavy layers and bring a little sunshine into your workspace.
When you’re spending most of your day in a home office, the way it feels matters just as much as the work you’re doing. A space that’s dark, heavy, or out of sync with the season won’t do much for your mood… or your productivity. If it’s 30 degrees outside but your office still feels like a winter grotto, it might be time for a refresh.
Luckily, we’re here to help. These four easy tips will show you how natural hide can breathe new life into your workspace, and give it a much-needed summer boost:
1. Refresh Your Flooring
One of the easiest ways to switch up your space - without carrying out a full renovation - is simply to change what’s underfoot. A light-toned hide rug, such as one of our classic sheepskin rugs, instantly lifts the look of the room and softens hard flooring. These natural textures feel fresh and airy - ideal for summer - and add a soft touch that makes long desk days feel more comfortable.
2. Create a Natural Zone
If your home office shares space with a spare room, dining area, or open-plan living room, a rug is a clever way to define your working zone. The irregular, unique, and organic shapes of hide rugs work beautifully to section off a dedicated area, making it feel like a space with purpose… even if you're only a few feet from the kitchen!
3. Style Meets Substance
Summer interiors are all about bringing the outside in, and that includes materials. A hide rug taps into that earthy, natural feel, without sacrificing on style. Whether you go for a rich, dark cow hide rug or something light and creamy, the textures bring a natural ambiance to the room without overwhelming it. It’s a statement piece that’s both functional and beautiful.
4. Cool Comfort Underfoot
Let’s not forget your feet. When temperatures rise, the last thing you want is synthetic floor coverings that feel stuffy. A sheepskin or soft exotic hide feels naturally cool and breathable. Place it under your desk for a subtle touch of luxury… and a whole lot of comfort during long video calls.
