The Nigerian rainy season brings with it lush greenery, cooler temperatures, and unfortunately—an increase in humidity, dampness, and mold in our homes. If you’ve ever walked into your living room and noticed your curtains feeling damp or smelling musty, you’re not alone. But here’s the good news: with the right strategies, especially the right moisture-resistant curtains, you can keep your home stylish, fresh, and functional all through the wet months.
At Ceejayinteriors, we believe your curtains should not only beautify your space but also protect it from the elements—and this article shows you exactly how to achieve that.
Understanding the Impact of the Rainy Season on Home Interiors
Before diving into curtain hacks, let’s look at what happens indoors during the rainy season:
- Increased humidity creates the perfect environment for mold and mildew.
- Condensation on windows can drip onto fabric materials.
- Dampness from unsealed windows or poorly ventilated rooms can cling to fabric surfaces, especially curtains.
Your curtains are particularly vulnerable since they hang close to windows—the primary sources of moisture intrusion.
Why Choosing the Right Curtains Matters
Most people focus on furniture or wall treatments when thinking about moisture damage, but curtains play a critical role too.
Here’s why:
- They absorb moisture faster than harder materials.
- They can trap unpleasant odors if made from the wrong fabric.
- Mold on curtains can spread to other parts of your home.
This is why choosing moisture-resistant curtains is an absolute must during the rainy season.

How to Maintain Curtains During the Rainy Season
1. Frequent Airing & Sun Drying
Even moisture-resistant curtains benefit from occasional sun exposure. Dry them outdoors for a few hours during sunbreaks to eliminate odor and prevent mildew.
2. Use a Dehumidifier or Charcoal Bags
These help reduce overall room dampness. Place them near your curtain areas for maximum effect.
3. Regular Vacuuming or Light Washing
Use a vacuum cleaner or handheld steamer once a week to remove dust and moisture particles.

Bonus: Best Rooms to Prioritize for Moisture-Resistant Curtains
Not all rooms are affected equally by the rains. Focus on these areas first:
- Living Room: Because windows here are usually large and central.
- Bedrooms: To avoid damp odors where you sleep.
- Kitchens & Bathrooms: These spaces naturally generate more moisture.
- Home Office or Study Corners: Protect books and electronics from dampness.
