Chill Out Make way for the cool front at home. Here are easy ways to beat the heat  Image courtesy Sea Gull Lighting You wouldn't wear your gray wool slacks in August, would you? So why wrap your home in heavy, dark colors the year round? Lighten up. Your home will look more inviting and you'll find it a more refreshing and comfortable place to be. You can change your décor as easily as you switch wardrobes. Make a few adjustments and your rooms will be more airy. They'll actually feel cooler. And you'll get some hidden payoffs: You'll save money on your energy bills and be able to cut back on a few housekeeping chores. Tuck your carpets in storage and skip a few months of vacuuming - bare floors are just cooler than rugs. If you insist on a carpet though, try a white shag for the summer, says Christine Dimmick, a lifestyle and home décor professional. If your sofa is draped with plush velvet pillows and chenille blankets during the winter, switch to white or pastel throw pillows during the summer. Dimmick repaints old furniture, not antiques, lighter shades for the summer. If you want to try this, start with your ready-to-throw-away chairs: Cover with primer, then two coats of paint. "For a distressed look, take a fork and scratch through the paint in a few areas to allow the dark wood to show through," she suggests. You can also set out seasonal knickknacks. For example, if you display a basket of pine cones in the winter, switch to a dish of seashells for the summer months. The best investment you can make to keep cool is a ceiling fan, says home-improvement expert Lou Manfredini. You may think a fan sends a breeze flowing, but it does more than that. It's an energy-saving device, he says. Cool air stays close to floor level, not where it will do you any good. A ceiling fan will circulate it throughout the room and requires minimal energy to operate. You'll run your air conditioner less and save money. And a ceiling fan adds value to your home when you're ready to sell it. "Any stigma of having a fan is gone," Manfredini says. With ceiling fans you get what you pay for. The more you spend, the better the fan, he says: "A good fan is maintenance-free. If you buy a good one, it will run for years and years."
