Summer is a season that brings people outdoors. From sports and activities with the kids to gatherings and BBQ’s with family and friends, everyone seems to focus on “sprucing up” their outdoor living spaces this time of year.

Whether your room is open and large or small and cozy often makes a difference in choosing the best flooring color. Light hues, for example, often open up a small space and give it the feel of being larger. On the other hand, darker, earthy color choices for the floor can make a large and cold room feel warmer and more intimate.
