Monsoon Interiors
The monsoon season is a welcome respite from the heat, but it also has its own set of interior problems, humidity, dampness, and mildew. Your lovely furniture, particularly curtains and upholstery, will be damaged if not chosen and preserved wisely.
At Vishvesh, we recognize the specific Indian home requirements during the rainy season. We will show you the moisture-resistant fabrics, damp-proof upholstery, and simple monsoon home tips in this blog to keep your space fresh, chic—and rain or shine.
Why You Need Special Fabrics During Monsoon
Monsoon moisture penetrates freely into permeable fabrics, leading to mold, mildew odor, and even color alteration of the fabric. Windows, balconies, and kitchens are the most commonly affected areas.
Choosing the right monsoon-proof curtains and upholstery material ensures not only a clean, dry room but also durable furniture.
Top Moisture-Resistant Curtain and Upholstery Fabrics
1. Synthetic Blends (Polyester, Acrylic, Olefin)
These are suitable for moisture-resistant fabrics, as they are low in absorbency and tend to dry quickly. They hold their shape, are wrinkle-resistant, and dry faster than natural fibers.
Ideal for: Bedrooms, Living Rooms
Tip: Fit double-layered curtains that have a polyester outer layer for protection and a sheer inner layer for filtering sunlight.
2. Cotton & Linen treated
If you prefer natural fibers, then use laminated or coated cotton or linen to create a waterproof material. They provide you with softness and breathability along with protection.
Utilized for: Study Rooms, Dining Rooms
3. Waterproof or PVC-Coated Fabrics
Very effective if splash or wet marks are an issue, they are a sensible option for window blinds, kitchen curtains, or bathroom room dividers.
Ideal for: Kitchens, Balconies, Bathrooms

4. Velvet with Moisture Shielding
Unlike myth, velvet can be used for monsoon interiors if provided with a moisture-resistant finish. It provides luxury and opulence to interiors that are otherwise mundane during the rainy season.
Curtain Styles That Work Best in Monsoon
Not only the material, but even the style of the curtain is important in ensuring that your home does not become wet.
Shorter Curtain Lengths
Employ no floor-length drapes during the monsoon season. Employ café-style or window-length curtains to stop water from penetrating fabric from wet floors or air.
Roman Shades & Blinds
These are compact, simple to use, and perfect for wet areas. They’re simpler to clean and dry as well.
Double-Layered Curtains
Use sheer curtains with a heavier outer water-repellent coating. Leave the heavy curtains open during the day on sunny days and allow soft light to pass through the sheers.
Upholstery Protection Tips for the Rainy Season
Upholstery will hold moisture, which, if not controlled, will lead to the growth of fungi. Follow the following care instructions:
- Utilize washable and removable slipcovers
- Spray fabric protectants (such as Scotchgard) to repel water
- Leave furniture a little away from walls
- Choose anti-mold upholsteries or leatherettes

Easy Styling Tips to Keep Interiors Fresh During Monsoon
Certain intelligent modifications can make your space not only serviceable but also beautiful in rainy months:
- Fit bright-colored curtains to offset grayish days
- Utilize anti-slip rugs with quick-drying backing
- Introduce indoor plants like ferns or areca palms to keep humidity level high
- Put essential oil diffusers to combat mildew smells
