Use bright and fresh colors
Dark colors absorb high heat, therefore, neutral or pastel colors such as white, beige, bright gray are the optimal choice to reflect light and create a cool feeling.
To make the space more lively, you can create accents through pillows, curtains or bed sheets with tropical tones such as blue, light yellow, pastel orange or lemon green.
Supplementing green trees to purify the air
Ornamental plants in the house not only have aesthetic value but also help regulate temperature and reduce the feeling of stuffiness. Prioritize plants that are easy to grow, clean the air well and require little care such as Italian orchids, tiger's tongue, cypress or juicy plants placed on windowsills, desks to create green and cool accents.
Replace light, breathable curtains
Replace heavy velvet and brocade curtains of winter with thin chiffon curtains, lint curtains or bamboo curtains. The thin and light material both helps to block the harsh sunlight of noon, and ensures that natural winds circulate easily, bringing privacy without causing stuffiness.
Minimize furniture and clean up space
Push away bulky items close to the wall to widen the walkway, and also put away cumbersome decorative items. Switch to using breathable linen bed sheets and replace thick fur carpets with thin cotton carpets or sedge mats, bamboo mats to keep the floor surface cool.
Arrange mirrors to add light and depth
Mirrors reflecting light make the room look more spacious and brighter. Placing mirrors opposite or next to the light-receiving window will create a clear visual effect, helping air and light to be diffused evenly throughout the apartment.
Add fresh aroma
Open the door to the wind and combine the use of essential oils, scented candles or diffusers with refreshing notes such as citrus, lemongrass, mint, or sea breeze. The gentle scent helps to deodorize moisture, purify the air and dispel stress after hours of moving in the scorching sun.
