Rethinking your wardrobe is not only a great way to free up space, but it will make staying cool during summer a lot easier. Swap out your winter wardrobe for loose, lightweight clothing made of natural fabrics. Avoid synthetic materials and tight clothing, and remember, dark colours absorb more sunlight, so stick to light shades and soft pastels. If you're working from home, take the opportunity to wear something a little less office-ready that's airy and comfortable.

This oak wardrobe from Loaf features perforated rattan doors and draw fronts that ensure your clothes are well-ventilated and don't get musty.
