Seven Budget-Friendly Ways to Keep Your Home Cooler

Summer is showing off this year — and so is your AC bill. Before you crank it up again, try these quick, efficient ways to cool your space naturally:

1. Keep curtains closed during peak sun hours, especially on south- and west-facing windows.

2. Switch your sheets to breathable cotton or linen.

3. Reverse your ceiling fan so it spins counterclockwise. (Yep, that’s the summer setting.)

4. DIY a cross-breeze by cracking windows on opposite sides of the house.

5. Replace incandescent bulbs, which give off a surprising amount of heat.

6. Cool your pulse points with a damp cloth or a chilled water bottle.

7. Declutter surfaces: Less stuff equals better airflow and a more-breathable vibe.

Little changes can make a big difference. Your future self (and utility bill) will thank you.
