5 Smart Summer Renovation Ideas to Refresh Your Home

June 26, 2025. Author: Nielson Fine Floors, Inc.

Summer in California is the perfect time to give your home a fresh new look—and a cooler, more comfortable feel. Whether you’re trying to beat the heat or update your space for entertaining, a few smart renovations can go a long way.

Our friends at COREtec® have shared five practical and stylish summer renovation ideas that we think are spot on for homeowners in Lincoln, CA and beyond.

Here’s a quick peek at their top tips:

Install Heat-Resistant Flooring

Consider upgrading to floors that are stylish, durable, and help maintain cooler indoor temps, like luxury vinyl flooring. It’s a great choice for California summers.

Add Energy-Efficient Window Treatments

Reduce heat gain and protect your floors from sun damage with window coverings that reflect UV rays while adding style to your space.

Upgrade Your Entryway

Summer guests are always coming and going. Refresh your entry with new flooring that’s durable and welcoming, especially in high-traffic zones.

Create an Indoor-Outdoor Flow

Blur the line between inside and out with waterproof floors that transition beautifully from your living area to your patio or backyard.

Add a Splash of Summer Color

Brighten your home with accent walls, new décor, or bold rugs that bring energy and vibrancy without the need for a full remodel.
