Home is a good way to stay cool when the sun is raging outside.
It's well insulated, to keep the cool in and the heat out (and vice versa!) when necessary, you’ve probably got an air conditioning system set up, and the windows closed to make sure your cat doesn't jump out! But there’s a couple more things you might be able to do in your home this summer to make sure you’re staying as chill as possible during this very warm season.
Now that the summer is in full swing, you’re probably feeling the heat waves washing over you, we definitely have here in Southern California in the last few weeks, even when you’re sitting in front of a fan all day. So now’s the time to focus on how you can change up your house to make a difference to your health and happiness, and to make sure your family has as much fun as possible!
The Kind of Curtains You Have
Curtains are incredibly useful things. They make sure we get a better night’s sleep because of how dark they make it, and they make sure there’s never too much sun pelting down on us even from behind four walls. But if you’ve got blackout or thick curtains during this season, now’s the time to change them out for something sheerer and more white in color or even drop down shades. This will better reflect any light you don’t want, and there’s just a much more airy sense about something lacy
Repaint Your Walls
The summer sun can make us feel very hot and stuffy, and when there’s nothing but humidity in the air, the last thing you want to do is come home to cluttered room. As soon as you sit down with sweat in your hair and your clothes sticking to you, hoping to cool off, you won’t be able to focus on anything but how trapped you feel in your surroundings.
