What happened
Many homes feel hotter in summer despite air conditioning due to dark furniture, synthetic bedding, heavy curtains, incandescent bulbs, and wool rugs. Replacing these with lighter colors, natural fabrics, linen curtains, LED lights, and lighter rugs can improve indoor comfort.
- 01Dark furniture and textiles absorb heat, increasing indoor warmth in sunlit areas.
- 02Synthetic bedding traps heat and moisture; natural fabrics improve airflow and comfort.
