How to Organise Your Home to Keep Cool

Shelina Jokhiya - DeCluttr Me
About this episode

☀️ As the temperatures rise across the UAE and GCC, your home might be starting to feel a bit stuffy and overwhelming. But did you know that clutter can actually make things feel hotter than they are?


In this episode of Get Organised with Decluttr Me, I’m sharing my go-to tips to help your home feel cooler and more comfortable during the hot months. We’ll go room by room — living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom — and I’ll show you how a few simple organising tweaks can make a huge difference.


Think better airflow, clearing those busy surfaces, storing away heavy items, and switching to lighter fabrics and décor. It’s all about making your space feel fresher without doing a full-on home makeover.


Whether you’re trying to get better sleep, survive the summer holidays, or just want your space to feel a bit more bearable in the heat, this one’s for you. A few little changes really can help your home feel calmer, cooler and more liveable — no matter how hot it gets outside. 🧊🏡
