Give your home a dewy fresh, monsoon makeover

Incense for life: Add sparkle to your monsoon decor by investing in a few good aromatic therapy options. From candles to incense sticks, mild fragrances that can help evade musty smells is what you really need this season. Also, one can buy lanterns and votives for a more luxurious set up.

Keep it green: A good way to welcome monsoon is by turning your house into a greener space and enriching your life with an environmentally-positive ambience. A money plant or bamboo shoots can be great for starters. For those fixated with bonsai, this might be a great time to deck up that window-sill.

When in China: Add some much-needed colour to your kitchen with some funky china-ware. Pick from a range that has floral art and cool patterns or choose colours to suit the weather. You really do not need to wait for a formal occasion or for guests to pour in.

Sweet slumber: Begin transforming your home and make it monsoon ready by incorporating a slight change in the bed linen. Go for light fabrics and bright colours. For instance, a bright Mediterranean blue can be teamed with an orange spread or yellow bed linen.
