Monsoon Products To Prepare Your Home For The Rains

Getting to slip into perfectly dry clothes during monsoon is a luxury of sorts in the city. If keeping your clothes rack inside waiting for your clothes to dry out isn’t your idea of a perfect monsoon, get a clothes dryer that’ll have your clothes dry and proper in minutes.

When it's gloomy outside, all you want to do is curl up on your sofa with a cup of hot chai or coffee and watch a show, read or nap, right? And for that, you need a nice throw or blanket. And if the bed is your happy place, here are some cool tricks to make it even more comfortable this monsoon. 

Pro tip: Best homegrown coffees to check out. 

Call me a romantic, but monsoons are simply incomplete with a cute window chain or two just swaying with the wind. We suggest getting a birdhouse chain to also help those furry little creatures get a safe haven in the harsh weather, but if that is not for you get any simple window chain just for the vibes. Make a note that windchimes will not be the right one to get for this weather as they might break easily or create a lot of noise because of the windy rains. 

An umbrella stand is a must for any house in monsoons, as we believe it's time you stop drying them in windows, floors or passages and actually get a stand to store them. This one with a division is perfect as you have a space for the large umbrellas and also a separate space for the small ones, perfect to dry one at al time minus throwing them all in one bin and hoping for the best. 

Give your floors relief from dripping boots and shoes coming in from outside and get a quick-drying mat that soaks up all of the moisture and does not let it all come on your floors, or leave your mats damp and eventually stinking. We suggest this earth stone bath mat, which is perfect for the monsoons. It's known to immediately absorb all water as well as dry as quickly. 

While water is the elixir of life, it can also be trouble during monsoon. The moisture can cause dampness and cause difficulties for your furniture, clothes and electrical equipment. You can get disposable moisture absorbers that come in handy or invest in dehumidifiers if you’re looking for something permanent.

Mould can seep into your walls, floor nooks and even clothes during the monsoons because of everything being moist. To prevent the built of this slimy,  and rather disgusting element, you can buy a mould-remover spray to prevent/remove it. We recommend this one by Astonish which is not only affordable, but claims to easily get the job done. It is also vegan and cruelty, however folks do say that it has a rather strong smell to it. 

A hot cup of tea or coffee is synonymous with gloomy monsoon evenings, so if you spot us hoarding cute and Pinteresty ceramic mugs then we're not doing anything wrong. Having a cute cup enhances your evening snack or morning breakfast experiences effortlessly, and gives you a little bright and happy cheer when it's so gloomy out. We're huge fans of romanticising our lives and we urge you to do so too!

Enjoy the rain from the comfort of your house by using wicker or rattan chairs in the balcony or near the windows. Since the material is moisture-wicking, you won't have to worry about mould catching it and you can enjoy a hot cup of tea as you sit indoors and watch the rain as you catch up on your reading.

Your furniture suffers silently during monsoons since we all know how damaging water and moisture is to wood. If your chairs, sofas and tables are susceptible to absorb moisture, coat them with this water-proofing solution we found on Amazon. It is basically an epoxy finishing kit that coats the furniture with a glossy finish — automatically protecting it from external stimulus.
