The Best Ways To Keep Your Bedroom Cool This Summer
Thursday, April 30, 2015
The good weather has finally arrived, and millions of Americans are now struggling with the heat. If you live in one of the southern states, it is imperative that you make alterations to your bedroom. You should do that in order to ensure you are not sweaty and uncomfortable throughout the night. While there are lots of different ways you can stay cool during the summer, we’re going to mention some of the simplest and most popular ones here today. We do that simply to give you some ideas about the best ways of avoiding high temperatures. If you fail to make any changes, you could wake up in the mornings feeling dehydrated with a very bad headache. That is not the best way to start the day, especially when you have eight hours of work ahead.
Install an air conditioning unit
Air conditioning units are not the best product for the environment, but that doesn’t mean you have to avoid them altogether. Having one switched on all day long is going to use a lot of energy. However, you could simply put yours on a nighttime timer to help keep your sleeping space at a more suitable temperature. You can also set it to come on in the morning around half an hour before you wake up. Just make sure you keep on top of maintenance. Air conditioning units can use a lot more energy if they are not working properly. Thankfully, those who need AC repair only have to search online to find specialists that can complete the job fast. The last thing you want is a buzzing or stuttering appliance in the room while you’re trying to sleep, right?
Remove the carpet and lay laminate
Carpet is by far the most comfortable flooring solution on the market today. However, laminate could be a better option if you are struggling to regulate your temperature when spending time in your bedroom. Wood is a terrible heat conductor, and so your flooring should always remain cold. That is the case, regardless of how long the sun might have been beating down on it during the day. Fitting laminate is not a difficult task, and there should be no reason for you to employ the services of professionals. If you can’t work out how to do it right, you should simply head over to YouTube and watch some instruction videos. Laying the laminate yourself could mean you save a few hundred dollars.
Add some Venetian blinds
Venetian blinds are vital if you want to keep your bedroom cool this summer. Putting them up at your windows will mean it is easier to regulate the light and heat entering your sleeping space. Also, you can close them and leave your windows open to ensure there is a nice draft running through your home. That would help you to create a peaceful sanctuary in which is it easy for you to nod off. Look online to find the best prices, and don’t settle on the first product you find. Sometimes it’s worth spending a little more to ensure you are getting something of premium quality.
However you choose to keep your bedroom cool this summer, we hope the suggestions made in this post have helped you to see that there are lots of different measures you could take. Get everything sorted now, and you should be fine when the hottest days arrive. See you back here tomorrow!
