Quick-Decor Ideas to Keep Your Homes Monsoon-Ready

Switch your Curtains & Fabrics

Monsoon adds moisture to the atmosphere and as the result it takes longer time to dry the cloths, curtains, sheets, and covers. So, always think judiciously before choosing the right fabric for your curtains in Monsoon. Bring in moisture-resistant synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, or acrylic for curtains.  

Use light colors so that room looks bright and airy. For covers and sheets try to choose microfibers, as it is featured with water repellency and stain resistance. Try to use soft textured and warm fabrics. Embrace monsoon patterns like raindrop prints or floral motifs for a touch of seasonal charm and incorporate earthy tone.

Place Soothing Wall Art & Handcrafted Decor Elements

This is the best time to upgrade the walls of your room with vibrant wall arts, which brilliantly reflects the spirit of this rainy season. You can hang nature themed framed artwork or photographs that depict monsoons, rains, rainy landscapes, and more. You can also decorate your corners with white or peach colored wall hangings made up of jute or linen like dream-catchers.

Infuse Vibrant Colors

Monsoons sometimes bring gloominess as it looks cloudy, so adding a splash of vibrant color would help to elevate the surroundings. You can incorporate colorful curtains, multi-colored wallpaper, abstract rugs, pastel cushions, and other elements to level up your home during the monsoon season. If you want to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, you can opt for taupe or beige, accented by touches of sunny yellow to make your home look brighter like shiny sunshine.

Soft Yet Bright Lighting

The ambient lightings have a soft golden glow which enhances the coziness of the decor. If you want to create a dreamy and soothing atmosphere you can switch to string, fairy, or warm-toned lamps. If you want to enjoy dancing sound of the downpour, and enjoy a movie night, you can switch to soft and dimmer light placed in decorative holders which will add a tone of aesthetic beauty to the surrounding.

Maintain the Wooden Furniture

During monsoon, wooden furniture tends to inflate and can change the exact shape of it, like doors and windows get inflated during rainy seasons. You need to take proper care of your antiques and hard wooden furniture by applying furniture wax or polish, as it will create a protective barrier around the furniture. You can also use dry silica gel pack to keep the enclosed furniture like drawers and cabinets dry as it absorbs the excess moisture from wood.

A Cozy Reading Corner

Monsoon is incomplete without a good novel of your favorite author. You can enjoy the lazy evening of the monsoon indulge yourself on the cushioned couch or sofa with the book and move away with all the emotions the novel carries. You can place the couch or the armchair near the window by combining a small and elegant side table with a nice linen cover, scented candles, and cup of hot beverage of your choice. Surely, this little corner will be a tiny heaven for those booklovers, who wants to enjoy novel and the pitter-patter of at the same time.
