​

3. Boil Water

​Need moisture in the air? Just boil water in a pot. Boil the water till its boiling point and then remove the lid from the pot.
​

​

8. Use vases with flowers

They will make your house look great. They are beautiful on the eyes and bring happy feelings. They water inside the vases along with the transpiration will provide the air the relative humidity it needs.
