Default Houseplants causing damp!

Greetings, gardening enthusiasts,

Does anyone know the best way to reduce dampness due to houseplants?
We've had such a rotten summer in my part of the British Isles lately;
the humidity has been horrendous (frequently around 90% or more for weeks
now) and the wallpaper is starting to peel in places. It's been so humid
outside it's not been possible to air the place out like it would
normally. I can't recall it ever being this bad. I was told there are
some other houseplants that can act as effective natural dehumidifiers,
but I don't know if that's true or not. Anyway, short of hiring an
industrial dehumidifier, can anyone make a helpful suggestion, please!!

Thanks!
