Time.news – Cities are boiling with heat. The mercury in thermometers keeps rising, yet there are some simple but iron-clad measures to combat the ever-increasing temperatures inside the house, rules inspired by two essential principles: ventilate during the cooler hours and hermetically close the windows and doors when the sun is high in the sky. And without necessarily having to resort to air conditioning.
The fans attached to the ceiling, as in the most sophisticated films of the past, for example, have recently returned to being all the rage, says the Paìs, They are found in different types and also at various prices, mostly affordable. “The model with light and remote control for a multi-speed motor is the most recommended”, a useful solution above all for bedrooms (where it is also recommended, in combination, to use white linen sheets, which recall freshness and induce at rest) and for the living rooms. But for the use of these blades or fans, you have to deal well with the square meters of the room, its size.

Also curtains have their own importance to stem the heat. “Poniente, Bora or Mistral” are some of the names given to the new collection of curtain models, which bring together a wide variety of fabrics inspired by the Mediterranean winds. “The fabrics are presented in natural colors and in double height, designed to regulate the entry of light and modulate the air that enters through the windows. The sensation of freshness is ensured with such thin fabrics,” we read.
And as well the color of the furniture is not indifferent: the sideboards of the Valencian company Slowdeco, coming from certified sustainable forests and inspired by the Nordic style “they provide a sensation of air and light”. Even tidying up the house, it has been proven, helps to bring freshness, especially if the furniture structures are made of metal and the internal coverings in fabric. Not to forget the use of plants, from the bathrooms to the living rooms, which bring refreshment, such as the monstera, the philodendron or the aquatic pachyra.
Finally, remove the winter carpets from the rooms and instead use natural fiber mats that refresh and fight the heat. All the colors used, then, must be soft, even for the tablecloths. Furthermore, the lights are recommended dim and cold, finally the windows must be as airtight as possible (but this also applies to the cold in winter).
It should be enough to not resort to the air conditioner.
