Wood absorbs moisture, swells, and may show cracks, making it susceptible to termite attacks. Sealing floors, pesticide control, and coatings can help preserve originality.
Avoid placing furniture against the wall
Wet weather causes damp walls, causing furniture deterioration; store away from windows and doors.
Infuse the furnishings with oil
Monsoon season causes wood surface swelling, making it difficult to open and close doors and drawers. Lubricating joints can prevent this issue.
Making changes in the layout
Walls can cause material damage, especially when furniture is close to them. To prevent damp corners, create ample clearance between walls and furniture, and maintain well-ventilated rooms.
