As summer sets in with a vengeance, it’s time to create that perfect cool environment at home and prepare your dwelling to beat the sweltering heat. Plan wisely, bring in a softer, breezier, gentler look, and do away with heavy materials around the house. We’ve also listed the home improvements that you can follow to get through summer…
1 GO FOR TRANSLUCENCE
An airy and light ambience makes rooms feel more spacious during the summer months. Put your heavy drapes away and use flowy, sheer curtains that are breathable. They allow light to filter through, imbuing the space with a romantic grace.
2 DECLUTTER
Organise your home smartly and create lots of storage options. Your home must be light and bright. Keeping your space minimal will help you declutter the mind and will create an environment for self-care.
3 USE SIMPLE AND RUSTIC MATERIALS
A wooden floor, natural stone, cane or rattan, natural textures – these instantly have a calming effect on the mind. Instead of a boxy black planter, use a jute laundry bag, for example, as it gives the feeling of the outdoors while still being part of an indoor set-up.
4 ADD CITRUSY CHEER
Bring in a touch of Italy with lemons! Add them to a bowl, make them your centrepiece. A mini orange or lemon plant can charmingly enhance your space.
