Flowers in Urli - Smart lifestyle tip
Water is very effective in keeping a place cool, so if you can incorporate a water-body or even a large pot or ''urli'' filled with water ( and flowers or petals to make it more attractive and add a fragrance to the air), it will help in causing the temperature in a room to drop. Better suggestion is keep ''urli'' in your living room.
