windows

Plants are the easiest and most functional way to cool down your home. They absorb heat.

Cotton fabrics everywhere

Not just for clothes, cotton is a great, breathable fabric that you can use for bedsheets, curtains, sofa covers, etc.

Dark rooms

Block out sunlight from morning to evening to keep the summer heat out. Use blackout curtains, if necessary.

Wet curtains

Dip the hem of curtains in water and let the fabric soak it up. When it’s done, just turn on a fan and enjoy the cool breeze.

Cool lighting

LEDs and fluorescent lights emit lesser heat than incandescent bulbs. Also, turn off electronic gadgets when they're not in use.
