Add Natural Fabric

Natural fabric like cotton and linen are light and breathable which can be used as bed sheets, curtains, upholstery, cushion covers in the summer season. Cotton is free of toxic materials, and feels comfortable on our skin. On the contrary, synthetic and rayon materials are stiff and rough on the skin. These materials traps the heat and produce sweat increasing the body temperature. Cotton curtains with solid colors can cover your windows very well and don’t let the sunlight enter the room but its breathable molecules let the air enter inside the room.

“Natural fabrics of natural yarns are used something like pure cotton or pure linen or even if it's a blend the percentage of polyester is very little so this helps in the maintenance and also it's very easy to feel and touch”, Reteish Sharma, Managing Director at ZYNNA

Create a Green Corner

Trees and plants are the most essential elements of nature, which can diminish the heat keeping the surrounding cool and comfortable. The addition of greens will allure the whole environment of living area, and puts in a touch of aesthetic and chic factor in your home decor. If we set a planter near the window, it will help us by diffusing the sun rays and thereby it reduces the temperature of the room. Trees do transpiration where it leaves the extra water in air making the area cold and soothing and also reduces the effect of green-houses gases like carbon di-oxide and methane. You can create biophilic walls using creepers, or hanging planters to enhance the overall look of the decor.
