Founder and CEO, Whispering Homes
Monsoon is a season associated with a hot cuppa of tea with a plate full of pakoras to be relished amidst the sweet fragrance of the clay and the pitter-patter of raindrops on the windows. It is the time when apart from satiating our cravings, we need to give our homes a makeover so as to keep pace with the fresh vibe of the rainy season. In today’s times, the possibility of keeping your interiors calm and adorning the décor aesthetically are endless.
Livening up the homes with a splash of colours
Brighten up your homes this monsoon with colours and hues. Amidst the grey natural set up, vibrancy in your homes will give you good vibes as well as will uplift your mood. Painting the walls is of course an option. However, you can take the interior décor a notch higher by adding cushions and vases of different kinds including the tabletop and floor variants.
Apart from cushions, you can also opt for décor pieces coming in different colours, sizes, and designs that will add a sophisticated touch to your homes. You can adorn your walls with aesthetic wall art, paintings, plates and even majestic mirrors. Along with the wall enhancement, you can also upscale the interiors with artistic glass and ceramic jars as well as minimalist specially curated décor items such as figurines. Coming in modernistic designs and quirky shapes, they not only add vibrancy to your home’s ambience but can also be used for keeping light weight and small essentials, packaged food such as candies, kitchen accessories and even décor items such as pebbles, candles, wax melts, etc.
The rain is often accompanied with a prolonged intense smell. Scented candles come as a blessing in disguise to deal with this monsoon odour. Nowadays, we have the organic soy version of the candles available in a variety of scents and sizes. These candles not only enhance the décor but also come with a plethora of health, physiological and psychological benefits. They add colour, warmth and fragrance to the space. Scented candles bring positivity and help beat stress and anxiety along with other negative emotions. They offer relaxation and boost the mood as well. In fact, you also have the option of organic wax melts. You can use these in the electric and traditional diffusers or wax warmers as a substitute of essential oil. These are highly scented and long lasting as they come with a considerable higher burn time.
Balancing the lighting with lamps and lanterns
When it becomes dark during rains, you can illuminate your living spaces with different types of lamps and lanterns. For a chic contemporary look, you can opt for table and floor lamps that are available in materials such as ceramic, metal, marble, glass, etc. For a traditional look, you can also go for age-old lanterns that come with a modern look and feel and are ideal décor items for your homes. They are the perfect adornment for your homes that brighten up the spaces during the greyish monsoon season.
Revamping your homes this rainy season
Refurbishing your homes in the monsoons is no more a cumbersome task. You just need to fix a budget and pick up the items of your choice. Placing cushions with eye catchy covers will not only attract attention but will also add colour to the environment of your homes. You can even add high-end décor items such as figurines, vases, etc. that will give a voguish look to the interiors. Even organic scented candles are a great choice that bring warmth and vibrancy to the home. When the indoors get dark and dull, lamps and lanterns can help brighten up the living spaces along with enhancing the aesthetics of your homes. This rainy season, you just need to be open to experimentation, go crazy with ideas and creativity and focus on adding hues as well as minimalistic items to the interiors of your homes!
