Helpful plastic zone:
Try keeping a dry space for those who come home dripping wet. It is always encouraged to have a zone cordoned by plastic chairs or stools to prevent your furniture getting wet when family comes in drenched in the rains. Try using lighter coloured plastic chairs to add to the space making it look bigger.
Water friendly furniture & mats:
People who get home drenched in rain are bound to make the floor dirty with their muddy footwear. Coir mat at the entry door can just do the trick. Also, see to that you keep your carpets dry during the season as well as replace the furniture with furniture made of light coloured water friendly materials like bamboo or cane.
Cotton lined storage to the rescue:
Right storage is sometimes a challenge during the monsoon. Keep books, papers and limited use items like locks as dry as possible, away from the main entrance especially in storage bins lined with cotton as it has natural dry wick capacity. Try covering or dabbing them with cotton cloth periodically to wick away any moisture, thus helping them to survive the monsoons.
Protect the woods:

Maintenance and upkeep of furniture is a tedious task. In order to keep them looking beautiful and shiny, try to keep them away from any wet clothes.
