Once a heatwave (or just really uncomfortably hot weather) arrives, it's usually too late to start panic-buying supplies. And no matter how good your house may look, if it isn't prepared for the heat, it won't be easy to live in. While most fans and bulky air conditioning units are unsightly and hard to hide, there are ways to keep your house cool and looking cool, too.
From design-y fans to more breathable bedding, the best way to beat the heat at home is to stop it from getting too hot in the first place — and then knowing how to cool down a room quickly if it does. Plus, the best place to be when it's hot is usually outside, so it's time to prepare that area, too.
