Tips for creating a cool and breezy atmosphere at home

SevenMentor shares with HT Lifestyle some tips from her role as interior designer at Livspace on how to create a breezy, cool atmosphere in your house this season.

1. Open, airy design

Open floor plans promote better airflow and smooth transitions between rooms.

The focus is on cool accents

Light colors will make your walls appear brighter and airier. The ceiling and floor should also be painted lighter colors.

3. Brighten spaces

Use natural light to brighten your room. Open your windows and use sheer blinds or curtains. For privacy, choose frosted or fluted glass.

4. Lighter furnishings

Use light fabrics to decorate the room. Choose fabrics that breathe and are not heavy. Heavy drapes or rugs can make the room look cluttered. Cotton and linen fabrics will allow air to circulate and give the room an airy feeling.

5. Mirrors

Reflective surfaces and mirrors allow light to bounce around the room. This makes it seem larger. You can create elegant mirrors with wood or vintage frames. Vintage frames and artistic frames are also available.
