Easy Decor Ideas To Brighten Your Home In The Monsoons

1. Blooming Beauties

Bring out all your vases and empty wine bottles and fill them up with the colours of the monsoon - peonies, lilies and tulips. Plants are known to soothe the eyes. Bring in new planters and pots over your windowsills and into the dark corners of your house to help more light come in.

2. Corner Lights

First, to fix the dark, shadowy effect created by the lack of sunlight, you'll have to rearrange some of your interior lights. Since almost all our ceiling lights and hanging lights are placed centrally, the corners are always darker. Since only the corners need a revamp, you can move your table lamps or other hanging lanterns to the dark corners to light them up during the day.

3. Songs Of The Wind

To add a whimsical note to your home, hang wind chimes by the window and let the chimes soothe your mood. Look for DIY wind chimes that you can make from bits lying around your home.

4. Colour Pretty

With grey skies overhead, there's no doubt your home is going to start reflecting the gloomy outdoors. Enliven your home with pop-coloured cushions. Changing your cushion covers is the easiest way to keep your decor fresh and preppy.

5. Sweet Fragrance

Despite the joy that the monsoon brings with it after the tiring summer season, we also have to face some major problems like the musty smell, dampness and mould. You can use oil diffusers and scented candles to keep from the stuffy, stale smell. Lavender, vanilla and lemongrass are known to be soothing on the soul.
