Monsoon season is characterized by cool rains, green plants and warm evenings. It however is also an overcast with misty interiors that are heavy at times. You can make your home a happy, colorful, and comfortable place to be with the appropriate home decor concepts. These are 8 innovative ideas on monsoon decorations that are used to lighten up your house and keep the rainy blues at bay.
The monsoon is the best season to switch dark colors to bright and colorful ones. Consider mustard yellow, bright orange, peacock blue and emerald green. Bring in color of cushion cover, rugs or wall paintings, and immediately make your own interiors bright.
Nothing like greenery and flowers are fresher. Not only do indoor plants such as money plant, bamboo, or ferns purify the air, they also bring life into your place. Vases with fresh flowers can brighten your corners, dining tables or entryways and make your home natural.
The dark, heavy curtains prevent natural light and they result in rooms being dark and gloomy during the monsoons. Instead, use sheer and pastel-colored curtains that do not restrict penetration of natural light and yet provide privacy. Light outfits also make a light, happy atmosphere.
Soft lights can immediately create the atmosphere in the house when the skies outside are foggy. Use floor lamps, fairy lights, or pendant lamps and warm yellow bulbs. Other candles or lanterns could create a homey warm appeal, ideal on rainy evenings.
The monsoon can bring muddy footwear and indoors dampness. Use non-slippery mats, which are washable with color and keep the floors clean near the entrances. Heavy carpets can be substituted with light-weight, fast drying carpet which is convenient and fashionable during this season.
Painting the walls with paintings of the monsoon theme or murals or photos make it seasonal. You even could have fun with DIY art, such as abstract paintings inspired by rain or framed nature photos to make your house look more personal and artistic.
The moisture caused during the monsoons may occasionally result in the musty smell in the house. Keep the house smelling fresh with scented candles, essential oil diffusers or incense sticks. Fragrances such as lavender, lemongrass or sandalwood produce a calming and pleasant mood.
Evening monsoons are ideal when one sits down to a book and a cup of hot tea. Plan a small nook with a comfortable chair, warm throw blankets and cushions. Making it a nice rainy-day retreat, you can add a side lamp and a stack of books you like to read.
Monsoon is not only about rain, but about revitalization, warmth and freshness. With splashes of color, the introduction of natural details, gentle lighting and cozy corners, you can make your home bright and wonderful even on the most rainy days. These monsoon home decor concepts will make you welcome the season in a warm, positive, and stylish manner.
