CULTIVATE THE PLANTS 

Indoor plants are a refuge. They represent nature closer to the residents, in addition to bringing freshness. They also play a fundamental role in thermal balance: they soften the temperature since they provide shade. If space is limited, bet on smaller species, in flowerpots and small vases. 

Meet 4 species of plants and flowers that are good to be cultivated during the hot seasons, making your home much more beautiful and cheerful: 

 

– Gardenia: with a striking aroma, this flower loves to be grown in the sun. This is a great option to be planted in vases. 

– Daisy: very versatile plant, which can decorate internal or external ambiance. It is very resistant and adapts well in any ambiance. 

 

– Sunflower: a flower that is the face of summer and very easy to care for. The species can be left in strong sun and care requires constant watering every two days at least.

USE LED BULBS 

To make your home cooler, it is important to replace conventional lamps with LED lamps.  

That’s because conventional lamps end up warming up more to produce light. And the LED ones consume less energy and release less heat, collaborating with energy savings and maintaining the temperature of the environment. 

It is worth remembering that, in addition to these advantages, LED lamps last longer and are more sustainable, bringing numerous advantages. 

BET ON LIGHT TONES AND LIGHT FABRICS 

 
Decoration with a summer face calls for lighter colors. White, yellow and light blue are welcome, as well as nude and ecru tones. How about changing the pillow cover for something printed? If you like strong colors, like orange and red, invest in occasional touches, so as not to overwhelm the decor. 

To ensure comfort, select light and natural fabrics to cover sofas and armchairs, such as cotton and linen. Lightweight fabrics breathe better and stay much cooler. 

Speaking of sofas, here on the blog we have a complete article with tips for you to learn how to assemble an amazing pallet sofa. 

Also, to help bring freshness into the house, remove the rugs and replace them with thinner options, made with straw, rope, or cotton fibers. 

For the curtains, also select those that have light fabrics and leaks, allowing the wind to enter the house. Curtains with lighter and more neutral tones are more indicated because they reflect the heat instead of absorbing it. 

PRIORITIZE NATURAL AIR CIRCULATION 

Leave the windows wide open for air to enter. Large windows allow for greater sunlight and ventilation. 

And if it’s too hot, use technology to your advantage. 

Many products were created to generate a more pleasant climate sensation. Air conditioners, fans, curtains and blinds in specific fabrics soften the temperature.
