Come monsoon and you like to sit by the window and watch the rain drops fall. A cup of piping hot tea or coffee along with some pakoras equals happiness during a rainy day! Monsoon is also known to be very dull and gloomy. Your house is a mess as you can find clothes all around waiting to get dry. Don't let the gloom ruin your happy mood. You can brighten the decor of your home by making these simple and effective changes to your home.

#1 Bed-sheets

The best and the easiest way to change the look of your home instantly is by investing in a couple of colourful bed sheets for your room. As it is mostly dark during monsoons, it is advisable to choose bright and colourful bed sheets to beat the gloom. Make sure you pay attention to the fabric, colour, and pattern while selecting a bed sheet. You can go for shades of red, green, blue and yellow.
