As the temperature increases, many find themselves looking for ways to cool their rooms. There are the obvious options: air-conditioning, air coolers, all manner of electric fans, but cooling a room by way of its aesthetics is also worth exploring.

For one, incorporating indoor plants in your rooms is a strategy that is used by many to cool it down. Via a process called transpiration that happens when the atmosphere heats up, plants release excess water into the air through their leaves. As a consequence, they cool down, and so do their surroundings. None other than NASA’s Earth Science Study confirms that plants indeed can alter the temperature through photosynthesis.

The rubber plant, palms, sansevieria plants (or mother-in-law’s tongue) and the Chinese evergreen are some of the best plants that help cool the rooms they inhabit in hot, humid weather.

But what if you’ve no luck growing these lush beauties? No worries! You can still introduce them by way of prints and patterns, creating a cooling effect psychologically. Especially if they come in green, blue and teal color ways which reflect the heat, these wall coverings will aid in creating a cooler feeling in your rooms. Botanical and tropical-themed wallpapers also bring the outdoors in, enhancing well-being by giving a positive mood indoors.
