Choose fabrics in cool colours
You should use light colours as much as possible in your house to reflect light and heat. Light colours should be the basis of your interiors in summer because they create a pleasant atmosphere. If you want to keep the cooling effect, use neutral hues like ivory or shades of green. Warm tones like olive, lilac or burgundy can be soothing but not overwhelming.

The perfect summer colours are blue, green, and beige.

Window awnings
Fitting awnings to your windows will help curb this issue and reduce the glare from sunlight being reflected on your windows while receiving adequate sunlight during the summer.

Dehumidifier
When excess water is removed from the air, a dehumidifier makes you feel several degrees cooler. The above tips can help you save a great deal of money, protect the environment, and keep you cool while saving a lot of money. Installing an air conditioner in your home is no longer necessary to cool your home; opting for simple green measures instead will save you a lot of money.

Pillows made from buckwheat or rice can be used
When the weather is extremely hot, these pillows are naturally cooler than cotton pillows, which will assist you in sleeping better. One of the most pocket-friendly and easiest ways to keep your bed cool in summers is to create rice pillows.

Every season can use them because they are extremely comfortable.

Curtains that block out light
For windows that receive the most sunlight, install blackout curtains. Keep them closed during the day. Use curtains with white backgrounds to reflect sunlight.

Choose energy-efficient and cool lights
Artificial lighting tends to add heat to a space. Instead of incandescent bulbs, homeowners can choose cooler lighting fixtures such as compact fluorescent or LED bulbs. In addition to reducing heat, these lights also help to save energy.

You can even try mood lighting for a pleasant ambience.

Indoor plants
Using indoor plants is an easy, cost-effective way to lower the temperature of a room and enhance air quality. They can also add style to any house when set in decorative pots. English ivy and peace lily are known for absorbing moisture from the atmosphere and reducing humidity. Homeowners should also consider planting heat-tolerant species such as sunflowers, lemongrass, banana plants, and palms on their window sills to provide cooling relief.

Growing houseplants like areca palm, aloe vera, and baby rubber plants since they help eliminate pollutants from the air.

To summarise it all, summers are a great time to revamp the look of your home and introduce awesome components to escape the searing heat. The most convenient way to keep a house chill is by utilizing thick drapes, shutting the windows, and precisely drawing the curtains at 11 am. Consider blinds and bamboo curtains to block the extra heat and keep the area cool. Fill tiny containers with water strategically to cool down the space, particularly where the wind is d blowing in. Furthermore, ventilate your abode in the evening by allowing air through opened windows.
