During the monsoons, some people enjoy the lush foliage and the break from the oppressive heat, while others find the lack of sunshine and the numerous puddles repulsive. But the monsoon’s violent downpours, ferocious gusts, and droplets on windows are a feeling that can only be felt, and not defined. However, during the rainy season, homes have a gloomy, forlorn atmosphere. But, if you employ the right techniques and tricks, you could take utmost advantage of the wet weather in your very own home.
Brighten up your living space
The monsoon season may cause the weather to become gloomy and depressing. But, your environment can be made brighter by adding some colour. You can bring life to your dull room by playing right with colours. For instance, you can make the room vibrant by placing some bean bags and colourful bed linens, like orange, pink, and yellow, which can instantly perk up the brightness of your space. Because colour can alter how we feel, you can break up the monotony of the rainy season with vivid, fresh design touches.
Light up the corners
As the room is gloomy and depressing during the monsoons, the corners of the rooms are even darker and glum. By installing floor-standing lamps in the corners, the dark shadows are removed and a brighter peripheral illumination is created, creating a happy atmosphere.
Potted plants and fresh flowers
An indoor planter filled with flowers and plants is another way to add colour and freshness to your space. They increase the rooms’ optimism and upbeat atmosphere. To give your home a fresh feel, you can opt for beautiful fragrant flowers like lilies, jasmine, and roses. And, if you own a villa, there could be nothing better than setting up your own little colourful garden in the front or back yard, or even the terrace!
Scented candles
Despite how much you may enjoy it, the monsoon season does leave a musty scent in its wake. In order to get rid of the monsoon smell, light a few scented candles throughout the house. These candles come in a range of scents and will provide a warm touch to your home. Alternatives like incense sticks and diffusers are a surefire way to make your space appear enticing and new.
Change the drapes
Switch from the heavy curtains you used during the summers to block the harsh heat and light, to sheer or lace drapes for the monsoons. These fabrics let light in while also being breathable. Rooms appear spacious and brighter, thanks to such sheer curtains.
Doormats
This serves more as a preventative measure during the monsoons than it does as a beautiful item. Rainy days come with wet umbrellas, soiled shoes, contaminated water, and raincoats. Place a jute or coir doormat at your entrance to help keep all of this dirt, mud, and filth out of your home. This will help to trap the dirt. Additionally, choosing dark shades will just further obscure the dirt from view. If you follow this simple advice, your home will stay dry and fresh throughout the rainy season.
Don’t let the weather make you feel dismayed! The aforementioned suggestions would change your ordinary room into a lively, happy, and upbeat area that is monsoon-ready.
