You may love the pitter-patter of the rain falling on your window panes, but the monsoon can be a tough battle when you have to spend time indoors. If you have to be holed up indoors on a rainy day, make sure you’ve done your bit to brighten up your house for the dull season. Here are five easy tips to jazz up your pad:
1 Add a pop of colour
Small, simple yet elegant changes in the décor can make your home monsoon-ready — be it curtains, tablecloths or even a wall hanging in your living room. Bright and cheerful colours like coral and yellow are perfect to fight the monsoon blues.
2 Find the right fabric
Do not invest in thick materials such as heavy cotton. The rains call for light fabrics that dry easily, and do not smell damp. Therefore, fabrics with synthetic blends are a good idea.
3 Scent up your space
Is your house smelling musty due to the non-stop rain? You can avoid the damp smell with scented candles. They come in various fragrances. So, choose what suits you best.
4 Go natural with music
Sitting near the window and watching the raindrops is a favourite activity for many people. Whether you enjoy just sitting by the window or reading on a rainy day, putting up wind-chimes near the window is a good idea. The light tingling and chiming with the soft breeze will add a nice relaxing and musical touch to your day.
5 Art attack
While using vibrant coloured chinaware just for the monsoon is a good idea, you can also use this time to whip up some do-it-yourself projects. Handpaint your containers, vases or bowls to brighten up the table.
