Tips

With the weather hotting up, now is a good time to think about keeping your homes cooler, and protecting your furniture from heat damage.

For a better nights sleep

Blocking out the sun is not the only way to keep heat out and stay cooler during the warmer months, why not opt for linen or cotton sheets, stay away from satin and silk.

Lightly coloured bed linen made from light fabrics, such as Egyptian cotton is breathable, so you’ll most likely enjoy a calmer more relaxing night's sleep.

Circulate the heat

Fans can be great in mild heat and can help to create that much-needed breeze, the trick is to point them outside, slightly towards the windows, so that they push out the hot air and keep your rooms cool in summer.

You can also improve airflow around the home, by opening windows and doors to let the cool air drift on through.

Blinds to block out the heat

Reduce heat in the home

Light bulbs give off vast amounts of heat, even the environmentally friendly options - so switch them off.

Don’t forget the sun shines for much longer now, so by keeping the lights off, you’ll not only save on your energy bill but reduce excess heat in the home.
