Having allergies to dust, pollen, or certain chemicals will greatly interfere with daily activities. You have to routinely clean the place where you do your daily activities, including inside the house. But of course, it’s very inconvenient if you have to clean the house every day. The easiest step is the process of decluttering or sorting items at home so as to reduce dust accumulation. But if you want your home to be beautiful with decorations, you need special steps to make your home feel comfortable.
Objects used for decoration can help you reduce dust accumulation so that your home is more comfortable with minimal dust.
Avoid Carpet
The carpet on the floor makes it one of the easiest decor elements to catch dust and is at risk of triggering allergies. Cleaning carpets with a vacuum cleaner on a regular basis is sometimes not enough to keep them clean, especially for houses on the side of the road with lots of windows. Therefore, as much as possible avoid the carpet. If you still want to use the carpet at home, try to choose a carpet with a short hair type so that there is less risk of dust accumulation.
Types of Curtains
The next material that is prone to dust and can trigger allergies is curtain fabric. If you have a dust allergy, you should avoid using layered fabric curtains because it will be a place for dust to stick. You can use a window shutter or window blind to prevent the hot sun during the day. Because window shutters or blinds are easier to clean and safer from the dust accumulation.
Furniture Selection
Sofas made of fabric are prone to dust if they are not routinely cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. Therefore, a leather sofa can be a better alternative. Another piece of furniture to note is the storage rack. As much as possible reduce the open storage designs or open storage. Items placed on open shelves are prone to dust and can trigger allergies. You can choose closed storage with doors or glass storage.
Artificial Plants
Plants are the most practical decoration elements to beautify your home. But if you have an allergy to pollen, you should avoid real plants, especially those with flowers. You can still get natural beauty through artificial plants. But make sure the artificial plants are made of quality materials so that they will remain beautiful and provide comfort for the occupants of the house. Don’t forget to regularly clean those artificial plants because plant leaves also easily catch dust.
Unscented Candles
Decorating a room with beautiful candles with a fragrant aroma is certainly interesting. But if you have allergies, you should avoid scented candles. You can replace it with unscented candles. To make it look prettier, you can complement the candle with beautiful artificial plants. Another alternative is to use LED candles which are available in various shapes and designs.
