Rearrange Your Entryway
Prevent wet floors by placing a handy umbrella stand in your entryway. An umbrella stand in the entryway is a must-have to keep your floor dry and tidy. For added safety, consider floor tiles with anti-skid properties for added safety during monsoon.
Coat Hanger
Don’t let the drenched raincoats enter your home and cause an unpleasant smell and dripping. Placing a coat hanger in the entryway itself is a good idea to restrict the water from spreading all over the floor.
Shoe Rack
Keep a separate shoe rack for the rainy wear collections. It can help in protecting the other footwear from forming fungi.
Doormat
Investing in a waterproof, dirt-trapping doormat is essential for maintaining a clean home, especially during the monsoon season. Coir or rubber mats are excellent choices in mats to restrict mud and dirt from entering your home.
Brighten Up Your Home
Liven up your home by ensuring ample lighting and incorporating lively colours. Ensure to provide maximum natural lighting even though there is scarcity of sunlight. Try possible ways to change the gloomy ambiance and dullness in monsoon. Setting up a cosy corner is also a great idea to relax at home in ultimate comfort during rainy days.
Add a touch of pop colours
Change your cushions into something bright. Choose tones like mustard yellow, deep red, burnt orange, or warm brown to brighten up your mood and add a cheerful touch to your home. Infuse energy into every element with little makeovers.
Provide ambient lighting
Lack of sunlight is common during monsoon, so get rid of the dullness of your home by providing enough lighting. Use warm lights to create a cosy look.
Take care of your wood
Doors & Windows
The monsoon season’s high humidity can cause wooden doors to swell due to moisture absorption. Take precautions to prevent this before the monsoon season. Apply a rubber lining around the door frame to block water seepage. For metal-framed wooden doors, a fresh coat of paint acts as a protective barrier against rust.

Protect Your Upholstery And Curtains
Limited sunlight and poor ventilation create ideal conditions for dampness and mould growth, resulting in unpleasant odours and a musty atmosphere.
Upholstery Care
Remember to choose moisture-resistant fabrics to prevent the buildup of fungus when caring for upholstery.
Curtains
Swap your heavy velvet or dark-colored curtains to lighter-coloured curtains. Delicate sheer curtains can create an airy and elegant atmosphere.
Bring Nature Indoors
Add life to your space with indoor plants. Place them on your balcony or windowsill to enjoy the greenery without increasing indoor humidity. Plants not only purify the air but also create a calming atmosphere with their earthy scent.
Freshen Up With Fragrances
Enhance the freshness of your home with lovely scents using candles, incense, or diffusers. Fresh flowers can also add a natural touch. Using a dehumidifier is also best during the rainy season.
