Bed Linen

Material, color and style are factors that you need to determine
Bedspread, duvet, cushion covers and pillows, all need to be chosen correctly. Since monsoons cast a dark shadow over your home, go for bright and vibrant shades. Yellow, green and orange are the best shades. Lighter shades increase the light available inside and add youthfulness to the space. Avoid darker tones. At the same time, don’t select white or beige shades for bed linen. They can be difficult to clean, if they get mud on it. Make the bedroom warm by adding pillow covers and cushions on the bed.
Candles and fragrances
Ensure that you add some candles and mild fragrances to your home to evade the moist smell away from the home. Keep them at coffee tables or side tables, so that you can lighten up the evening. Also, monsoon means power cut. This can be avoided by aromatic candles that offer light and fragrance at the same time.
