Here’s your ultimate guide to refreshing your space during Pune’s rainy season:
1. Waterproof the doormats
Place rubber doormats outside and inside every entrance to absorb water.
Use a shoe rack near the door with mats underneath to avoid messy puddles.
Hang a sturdy umbrella stand or hooks to hang up the wet drips of the gear.
2. Elevate the Furniture
If you live in a ground-floor flat, make sure the floor is elevated to lift wooden furniture easily.
Use silica gel packets or camphor balls inside cabinets to reduce moisture.
3. Change to Monsoon-Friendly Fabrics
Swap out heavy curtains and throws with quick-dry, lightweight materials like cotton or linen.
Store away woollens and synthetics that retain moisture and attract mustiness.
Add abstract colours to the cushion covers to brighten up dark skies.
4. Bring in Warmth with Lighting & Aromas
Use warm-toned lamps, fairy lights to fight the dim weather.
Light scented candles to keep your surrounding fresh and peaceful.
5. Use Nature—But Wisely
Indoor plants improve in monsoon humidity but can bring pests. Select low-maintenance greens like snake plants or cobra plants.
Place them in well-ventilated areas and make sure you don’t overwater it.
6. Create a Monsoon Comfort Nook
Accessorize a place around an open area like a window or a balcony with comfortable furniture items, along with a bookshelf or a tiny table.
Decorate a tray for snacks with hot chai, for creating an ideal setup for a cozy rainy evening.
Renovation in monsoon isn’t easy but all worth it. It’s all about comfort, health, and peace of mind. Just few minor changes that would make a greater impact and the home is monsoon-ready.
So, light those candles, change all the cushions, and let the monsoon become your mood board.
