  • For indoor plants, winter gardens - 55-75%.

1. Ventilate the room regularly

Open windows at least three times a day for at least 10-15 minutes. The wider the windows are opened, the faster the room will be ventilated.
This is the simplest and affordable way air humidification. But not the most efficient. For example, the hot summer air is quite dry, so in dry weather, ventilation alone will not provide full-fledged air humidification. But in winter time and the heating season, when batteries dry the air a lot, this way of humidifying the air works very well.

Art and luxuries emerge in the bathroom. The bathroom often becomes a living room continent without any partitions, so it is natural that you want to decorate this space in the same way as other rooms. In a modern bathroom, paintings, sculptures or other artistic projects are easy to implement, only interior experts advise to anticipate where non-traditional decor elements will be placed - they must match. common idea and style.

An accent of luxury and exclusivity can even be a fireplace if the bathroom is spacious enough. For women, a suitable mirror and a comfortable cosmetic table are important.

3. Dilute plants in the apartment that moisturize the air

All indoor plants have a beneficial effect on the microclimate in the room. Humidification of the air in the apartment occurs due to the evaporation of water through the leaves of plants. This not only increases the humidity of the air, but also occurs its ionization. And some plants are able to release, in addition to moisture, special organic substances that effectively clean and disinfect the air.

Focus even on bathroom details. The design of faucets and shower heads depends on the interior style. In the classical style, they can have more sophisticated designs, decorated with glass, stones. Brass and metals, luxurious materials, are perfectly combined in a classic interior. Modern style faucets can be minimalist with a sculptural flow of water. Prestige, design and reliability are important in this style.

These bathroom accessories can be made of metal, glass, plastic, stone, even pearl shell. It is best to choose items from the same collection, color or material. Towels are recommended to be combined with the overall shade of shades environment such as tiles, walls or floors. The most popular and least indispensable way to hang towels is with wall hooks, but a more interesting and equally convenient solution is stand-alone rack-style hinges leaning against the wall.

Advice: The following plants are able to give off especially much moisture: nephrolepis (home fern), fatsia, cyperus, sparmannia (room linden), ficus, dracaena, hibiscus. At the same time, Nephrolepis additionally destroys harmful substances contained in the air (formaldehyde, xylene, toluene).


Escape from Everyday life and spaces for relaxation. When you relax in the bathroom, enjoy the peace, you should not forget about a comfortable chair or bunk that can be used to store things, saving space. Seats and chairs should be impregnated with special tools to make them longer.

Plants in the bathroom can help create the feeling of being in wild nature and give the room more life. When choosing the desired plants, it should be taken into account that they will be able to grow in exceptional conditions - where changes in humidity and heat, various aerosols, cosmetics, etc. often occur. suitable plants in these conditions should be located closer to the natural light source, as well as from water spray and various sprays.

4. Buy a dedicated humidifier

The above methods of humidifying the air are quite effective. However, they cannot be compared in efficiency with special devices that allow you to maintain a given level of humidity in the room.
Air humidifiers are of the following types: steam (equipped with an ionizing silver rod), traditional humidifiers (drive dry air through a damp sponge), ultrasonic humidifiers (purify water and spray it with a vibrating membrane).


If you decide to buy a humidifier for your home, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the available types of devices. We will analyze the pros and cons of each type and suggest how to choose the right humidifier for air. To do right choice, you should be guided by some criteria for choosing a humidifier.

>> Type of humidifiers

The simplest type of such devices is traditional humidifier (or cold steam humidifier). Such a device humidifies the air in the apartment, evaporating particles cold water. Using such a humidifier is quite simple: you need to pour water into a special tank, after which the fan drives this water through special filters.
+ The main advantage of such models is that they independently adjust to their surrounding conditions and can regulate the rate of water evaporation depending on the level of humidity in a particular room.
In such devices, only distilled water should be used, otherwise the filter will quickly become clogged and fail.

IN steam models, saturation of air with moisture occurs due to evaporation hot water, steam has a temperature of 50-60 degrees. Here, the evaporating element is no longer a filter, but a pair of electrodes that are immersed in water, thereby heating and evaporating it.
+ Such a device absolutely meets all safety requirements: when the water from the tank completely boils away, the humidifier automatically turns off.
The temperature of the steam also entails limitations: such humidifiers are not recommended for those who have small children.

To date, the most popular and modern modification of the humidifier among consumers is ultrasonic model. If you opt for a similar model, you yourself will be able to control the level of humidity in the room as much as possible. In such devices, a plate vibrates with an ultrasonic frequency, and when water hits this plate, it breaks into tiny particles and is evenly sprayed in the room.
+ It is very efficient, compact enough, and even consumes very little electricity.
Water demineralization is required, otherwise the furniture is covered with a white coating after the settled small droplets of water with salts dissolved in it dry. It is necessary either to use distilled water, or to use decarbonizing filter cartridges with ion-exchange resin (and, accordingly, replace the filter cartridge or its filler once every 2-3 months).

In conclusion, it is worth saying that in order to choose the right way to humidify the air, you need to clearly set goals and determine which room needs humidification in the first place. For a child's room, for example, a safe cold air humidifier is recommended, but airing should only be done when the child is not in the room. In other rooms, an ultrasonic device is well suited, provided that demineralized water (distillate) is used, and several flowerpots will not interfere.

Ultrasonic Humidifiers

The most popular type of humidifier. Steam is produced by ultrasonic waves, water enters between the plates and small splashes are obtained with the help of waves. Then the fan distributes this steam along with the air around the room.

The effect of cold steam is very attractive. The most interesting thing is that the device splits not only water, but also the elements that it contains. Further, the mixture enters special filters that filter out all harmful components from water and air.

The device is very modern, has a stylish design and often has a built-in hygrometer. It works silently and requires low power consumption.

Traditional Humidifiers

It works on the principle of conventional water evaporation. Water is poured into the humidifier and enters the evaporative elements. They can be spinning plastic discs or paper cassettes. Further, the fan sucks in air from the room and directs it to the evaporative elements. Due to this, not only humidification occurs, but also air purification, because dust particles remain in the water.


Climate complexes

Such devices carry out purification, aromatization, humidification of the air. And sometimes they use the "silver rod" technology, which allows you to clean the air from bacteria and viruses. In such devices, cleaning is stronger because it contains 3 filters.

Such a humidifier has more functions, as a rule, there is a remote control. The disadvantage of such a device will be the price.
