THE rains are here again, and it is welcome development after the dry and hot spell. But it does not have to be cold and gloomy indoors just because it is the rainy season. Your furnishing can still be maintained to give your home the beautiful look that you always crave for.
A great deal of materials used in homes at this period come under the weather and need to be protected to retain their beauty.
Flooring materials such as rugs, carpets, tiles and wood laminate floors unarguably are the most bashed at this period, given that they come in contact with wet feet. Protect their shine by investing in mops and cleaning agents because cleaning will be more frequent at this period. Getting a hard-wearing natural fibre entrance mat will absorb the wetness and can be easily aired every now and then.
During rainy season, your upholstery work may get fungal attack due to moisture and humidity. To avoid this, during warm and sunny days, open your windows to allow maximum sunlight and air inside. If possible you can sun them outside.
Rearrange your furniture to create alternative seating or play space for your kids since they are not going to be able to play outside most of the times.
Bringing out your colourful throw pillows will add spark to the room and cheer you up.
This is the time to make use of the lamp that you have been using as a decorative piece in your home by switching it on to create a special atmosphere.
Colourful lined curtains lift your room and protect you and the family from cold.
