Beat The Heat: Ways To Cool Off Your Home!

Can't stand Malaysia's heat? There's more to cooling down your home than turning on the AC! It's safe to say it's 24/7 and 365 days of summer here in Malaysia. Whilst your house gives you shelter from the scorching sun, it doesn't necessary save you from the undying heat. Here are some cool (pun intended) tricks which can help you beat the heat.

1. Light And Airy

Besides using light paint colors, opt for the same light colors for furniture and decor as well. This is a simple trick that is both stylish and cooling. As colors play a big part in our moods, picking light colors will create a breezy feeling for your home. Other light colors such as blue and green can also create relaxing and cooling rooms.

It's smart to opt for white for furnishings as white is the perfect color - it reflects heat! The color doesn't absorb heat and can prevent your home from being an oven.

2. All Natural

Keep the tips of your toes cool and comfortable with marble or laminated wood flooring. They don't retain heat and are easy to clean which is a major plus point.

Marble is the optimal choice as it has a cooling effect and doesn't absorb heat! It's also a natural stone which means it's less prone to scratching and cracking.

3. Blinds

Blinds are a 50/50 thing. Some people love them, some don't. Some people prefer curtains but definitely consider blinds as they block sunlight so much better! By blocking out sunlight, especially in the middle of the afternoon, it's going to make your rooms much cooler. There are also lots of choices for types of blinds - vertical, horizontal and even newer 'in' ones powered by technology.

4. Go Green

Is there any time of the year that isn't appropriate for greenery? The answer is no! Plants and flowers are always a great addition to a room. Not only do they brighten the surroundings, they also humidify the air.  If you have a balcony, plant some flowering or tall plants and they can block sun-rays and prevent heat from entering the inside. 

Keeping out the heat can be as easy as 1, 2, 3 - even more easier if you get in touch with us! Give us a call today at 012-506 7298 and let us help you create a breezy, airy home.
