Take a look outside and you might think that winter is over, if it ever hit your home at all. But of course, if you pay attention to the news that you’ll know the brunt of winter gets later every year. Is this due to global warming or pixies dancing in the sky? Who knows, the point is that if you think your home is free from the worst of it, just wait. The snow will start to fall soon enough and you’ll be shivering under your blankets. The good news is that it’s not too late to prep your home for the winter weeks ahead, filled with heavy snowfall. Okay, filled with cold rain, but it could turn into snow!
Get Snuggly
Let’s start in the bedroom where things might be a tad colder than you’re used to. During the warmer months of the year, you might find yourself tossing and turning, sweating through the bed sheets under a thick comforter. If you find your duvet is thin enough to still let in a little chill, prepare to freeze through winter. You may want to think about getting an upgrade. Have a look at something like the Plumeria Bay Comforter Guide. There you’ll find all the different comforters and you can make sure that you get one that keeps your toes toasty through winter.
Turn On The Floor?
In the words of Sarah Millican, that’s not right, is it? But it can be because you can purchase floor heaters that are again perfect for keeping your feet nice and warm. These will cost you quite a lot, but you might find it’s worth it. Just imagine coming down to the kitchen in the morning and not being greeted by an ice cold floor. Instead, your kitchen marble floor is warmed just to the right temperature. It’s the perfect way to start the day. Well, that and a good old cup of joe of course.
A Little Drafty
If you constantly find yourself feeling a draft in your home, it might be time to fix the insulation. You can do this by upgrading the windows and that will cost you a few thousand. Or, if you’re working with a modest budget. You might want to think about changing the curtains instead. There are plenty of thick curtains that will keep the heat in the home and make sure it stays nice and warm. If you are getting a lot of cold air escaping into the home though, you might find your window seal has worn away. If that’s the case, it is best to get a replacement.
Looks Like The Real Deal
Or, perhaps the best option is to choose a new log fire for your home. Alternatively, if you can’t have a real log fire, you can get an electric one that looks real. It will still produce heat and will look fantastic in your living room or even your bedroom. It’s the perfect accessory to add to your house before winter kicks into high gear.
