Light-coloured curtains and bamboo/woven blinds: 
Use light-coloured, heat-reflective curtains or blinds to block out sunlight and prevent heat from entering your home. Install bamboo or woven shades that allow some light to pass through while blocking direct sunlight, helping to keep rooms cooler.

Reflective window film: 
Apply reflective window film to your windows. This accessory reduces the amount of heat entering through the glass, keeping the interior cooler. They can be easily removed whenever you want.

Indoor plants: 
Incorporate indoor plants such as ferns, peace lilies, or snake plants. They not only add a fresh aesthetic but also help cool the air through the process of transpiration.

Cotton or linen textiles: 
Switch to cotton or linen for your bedding, cushion covers, and upholstery. These natural fibres are breathable and help to keep you cool by allowing air to circulate.

Cooling pillow inserts: 
Use cooling pillow inserts or pillows made with cooling gel or breathable materials. These can help you stay cool while sleeping.
