The secret to refreshing your home may be in details you ignore
Intense heat can turn our home into a real greenhouse, making rest difficult and the environment uncomfortable.
Fortunately, there are simple and effective solutions that help cool rooms without relying on electricity.
These are tricks that use nature, architecture and common sense to your advantage so you can not only save energy but also make the air more pleasant.
6 ways to beat the heat inside your home without having to turn on the fan or air conditioning
1. Place basins with cold water in the corners
Homemade solution that helps a lot in high temperatures as water evaporation helps to increase humidity and refresh the air in the room.
If you prefer to put cold water with ice cubes inside, it’s even better.
2. Open doors and windows at night
As the temperature drops at night, open windows and doors to allow natural fresh air to circulate.
This will further improve the circulation of fresh air and eliminate hot air accumulated in the rooms.
3. Use thermal or blackout curtains
Many people forget this detail, but these fabrics block direct solar radiation and prevent heat from accumulating indoors.
They are excellent for warmer days, especially at night.
4. Swap incandescent bulbs for LED
An old habit that even today many people forget helps a lot in hot weather.
Incandescent lamps release heat and many Brazilian homes are still lit by them. LED ones are cold, economical and reduce the stuffy feeling.
5. Plants inside the house
A green and natural salvation for any environment. They humidify the air and absorb part of the heat, leaving the place lighter, airy, fresh and very natural.
6. Light-colored sheets and curtains
No pieces in heavy tones, as lighter tones reflect light and reduce heat absorption in fabrics and walls. This helps a lot to refresh naturally and without spending money.
