Choose light and breathable materials
One of the simplest ways to keep the house cool is to prioritize bright and breathable fabrics. Bright colors help reflect sunlight, reduce heat absorption, while materials like cotton or linen support better air circulation.
For curtains, you should choose thin, light, and light-colored ones to limit heat accumulation. Similarly, sofas and armchairs should use breathable fabric to create a comfortable and fresh feeling for the space.
Invest in airy blankets, sheets, and pillows
The bedroom is prone to getting stuffy in hot weather, affecting sleep quality. Using bed sheets and pillow covers made of natural fibers such as cotton or bamboo helps absorb moisture and increase ventilation.
In addition, mattresses and pillows with cooling technology such as natural rubber help regulate body temperature more effectively when sleeping.
Use carpets reasonably
Decorative carpets can support cooling if used properly. You should choose carpets from natural fibers such as jute or bamboo to create a cool feeling when exposed.
Place carpets in necessary areas such as the living room, bedroom and avoid covering the entire floor to ensure air circulation.
Increase heat resistance efficiency from windows
Windows are a place that absorbs a lot of heat in the house. Using reflective film or curtains with a heat-resistant layer helps reduce the amount of heat entering the living space. Screens are also an effective choice, both insulating and keeping the space cool and stable.
Bringing green trees into living space
Green plants not only increase aesthetics but also help cool down naturally through the water vapor drain process. Plants such as sesame, aloe vera, tiger's tongue or areca are both easy to care for and suitable for growing indoors.
Plants should be arranged in sunny areas to increase cooling efficiency and create a comfortable feeling.
Prioritize light and airy furniture
Bulky furniture can make the space more stuffy and hot. Instead, you should choose light, airy designs with materials such as light wood, rattan, bamboo, or metal.
Items with open design or high legs help air circulate better. Multifunctional furniture also helps keep the space tidy, thereby reducing the feeling of heat accumulation and increasing comfort for the house.
