Living in a tropical country can be a challenge, as the heat sometimes can be unbearable. That’s why we can’t seem to live a day without air conditioner or fan. But what if we tell you that it’s actually possible to create a cooler environment, especially at home? So, open wide the windows and read several tips from us below:
1. Plant flowers and trees by the window
The air quality inside a house is determined by the air outside. Planting some flower bed and trees at your yard will greatly improve the air circulation to be cleaner (more oxygen inside the house!), thus creating breezy and cool air inside. This way you don’t really need fan or air conditioner during day. All you have to do is opening the window to let the breeze flows.
2. Limiting direct sunlight
Direct sunlight through the house can cause a higher temperature inside. It is recommended to install canopy over the door or window. Canopy helps providing shades for the door and window so the sunlight is toned down before entering the house.
3. Rearranging the rooms
Does the giant cupboard blocking the stream of air from the window? Does the corner look stuffy because you place a couch that out of proportion? We believe it’s a good time to rearranging several furnitures to create a more spacious vibe inside the house! Make sure the window or any other source of air and light aren’t blocked by furniture. Declutter several things that are no longer serve a purpose for you and furniture which size isn’t a good match for the available space. Don’t forget to always put a proper distance between furnitures so you can access them easily.
Air circulation has a very important role for creating a comfortable home. Once you figure out the perfect setting for your home, the rest will be siesta! You don’t have to depend on fan or AC as much as before! Imagine spending your leisure time indoor and graced by the breezy air flowing from outside the window, definitely a pure treat!
