SUMMER BREEZE: BEST DOORSTOPS FOR SUMMER 2023

Back to blog

Summertime... and the living is BREEZY.
At least, it can be, with our super selection of:

SUMMER DOORSTOPS

With higher temperatures expected to make a welcome return over the coming weeks, it’s especially important to try and ensure good airflow through your home.

Naturally, this may initially lead you to contemplating investing in electric fans, or fancy air-con machines, but by far the easiest and least expensive way to cool your home, is to simply prop open your doors and windows to create a current of air, thus allowing a balmy breeze to waft through your rooms.
Now you could, of course, simply put a boring brick or something heavy in front of your door, but, here at The Doorstop Shop, we've always been firm believers in choosing homewares, fixtures and fittings that incorporate your interior style and reflect your personality, and what better way to do that, than with one of our joyous decorative doorstops.

In fact, we think door stops should elevate your living space and bring a touch of carefree cohesion to your room's aesthetic, and no more so is this true than during the serenest season of them all:

SUMMER!

So whether you’re preparing for a BBQ with friends and family and want to showcase your careful design choices by propping open your doors, or, if you're breezily browsing for something win(d)some to let the air flow and combat the summer heat, we’ve rounded up our ten best doorstops for sunny Summer days.
