When the summer sun starts to warm up, it's important to think about how you can cool rooms down if they begin to get a bit too close. Thankfully there are lots of ways to do this.
Here at Homecolours we know how important it is to keep room temperature at a comfortable level, so we've thought of a few ways that will enable you to do exactly this.
Here are our tips for keeping the home cool in style.
Cooling Colours
When making new additions to the home during the summer months, try to imagine how they will contribute to the overall feeling of warmth in a room. Adding an item such as an ornamental vase to a room can act as a wonderfully calming centrepiece to an interior.
The Leonardo Beauty Vase in a pale light blue shade of colour creates a soothing offering of tranquility. By making use of its classily designed rounded formation the vase will add a cooling ambiance to any room. A gracefulness and eye-catching shape brings a highly decorative look to living room, bedroom or hall way. Hand made by the glass experts at Leonardo, the vase is ideal for showcasing flowers and plants, or as an ornament on its own. A beautiful way to cool things down.
Expert Use of Curtains and Blinds
Making use of curtains and blinds in the middle of the day when the sun is at its strongest is an ideal way to block out the most aggressive of the heat during the summer. With the added benefit of shielding a room from excessive heat and light, the curtains can also add a beautiful new look to the room.
The Sweet Pea Curtains from Bluebellgray provide a fresh and cool look to the bedroom. The pattern printed in watercolour design have a transformative colour palette of dusty blue, coral pink and striking green. Fresh, floral and charming with a wild beauty, the fully lined and pleated pair of curtains are ideal for bringing a tranquil atmosphere to the room.
Use Energy Efficient Lighting
The latest styles of interior lighting are becoming ever more advanced in how they use energy. By bringing LED bulbs into the lighting framework, lamps and lights have become far more efficient and productive. This can have the effect of producing less energy, and warmth, making the interior temperature more manageable in the hottest months.
The Edison The Petit Lamp by Fatboy is certainly right up to date with the latest in lighting technology. Cordless and fully rechargeable, the light has an EU Energy rating of A++ and is perfect for a fun, exciting and environmentally sound to illuminate any room.
