The weather and the climate are changing, whether you're planning a renovation, moving or just looking for decor suggestions. Any little change presents an opportunity to address climate change, or what's known as opportunistic retrofitting. Furthermore, as the hot summer months draw near, your living room will be the best place to unwind and enjoy yourself. Besides, summer is a great time to update your home's decor.

"As the seasons shift, so should your home decor. One of the simplest yet effective ways to align your home decor with the weather is by adjusting your lighting scheme. During the warm days of summer, maximise the natural flow of light by strategically adjusting the height of your chandeliers," says Abhishek Singhal, design expert and Founder of Luxaddi.

Further, Ms Anushka Ahuja - Interior design expert Co-Founder, Studio by Agni shares and recommends that for warmer months, select lightweight, breathable fabrics like linen or cotton to maintain a fresh and airy ambience. As temperatures drop, switch to warmer, cosier materials like velvet or wool to create a snug atmosphere.
