Although we’re still in the middle of fighting off the
summer heat, we can’t deny that we’re getting closer to switching seasons—in
just a few weeks, it will be time for us to bust out our raincoats and
umbrellas again. While the rain can be a hassle when you aren't at home,
there's no contest that it's the best type of weather when all you have on your
to-do list is laying down on your bed. So don’t let the rainy seasons get to
you. Perk up your life and your surroundings with a splash of colors and some creative
decor tips.
Get ready to embrace the wet and bleak forecast with these 9
awesome makeover ideas that would transform your home into a warm, inviting
haven during rainy season:
1. Switch out bed
linens.
As soon as the temperatures drop, be ready to trade in the
lightweight sheets for thick comforters or duvets. This is also a great time to
flip your mattress, replace pillows that could no longer be revived and find a
linen spray to prep your bed for curling up in cold weather.
2. Change the other
fabric pieces around the home, too.
This includes runners, tablecloths and your drapes! The
rainy season is the perfect time to experiment with dark, rich and jewel-toned
pieces that bring the mood down during the summer.
3. Paint the Walls.
Dark colored walls would add to the gloom during rainy
season. So opt to repaint them with bright colors instead. Colors like red and
yellow would make the rooms look brighter and keep the humidity away as well.
If you can't afford to paint them, consider opting for bright colored murals
you can decorate the walls with for some added zing and brightness.
4. Lighten the
Curtains.
Although heavy drapes would look perfect on a hot, sunny
day, they would make darker during rainy season. So replace them with curtains
made of light fabrics like cotton. Colors like aqua, scarlet, leaf green, corn
yellow and turquoise would look great on the windows and brighten up the space
immediately. The rainy season can also make the indoor air pretty musty. Opt
for sheer or lace curtains that would let as much light into the rooms as
possible in addition to letting in some much needed breeze as well. Another
highlight of opting for light fabric curtains during rainy season is that they
dry pretty quickly so you can wash them however many times you want without
worrying about not being able to dry them properly.
5. Get an
Umbrella/Raincoat Catcher
One of the worst things that could happen on a rainy day is
someone walking into your home with a fully wet umbrella dripping water on your
carpets and upholstery. While you cannot stop guests from using an umbrella on
a rainy day, you can decide where you want them to deposit their umbrellas
before entering your home.
Wet umbrellas are essentially left outdoors. However, having
them lying around on the front porch would only lead to someone tripping on
them sooner or later. Opt to place a tall basket near the front door where your
guests can keep their umbrellas in when visiting you. You can also place a coat
hanger near the front entrance for your guest to hang their raincoats on when
entering your home. This would offer a fail proof way to keep your house water
free and your guest's belongings safe during the rainy season.
