4 ways to warm up your home without a heater
As the temperature drops, our gas and electricity bills seem to climb, and with winter just over a week away (we can’t believe it, either), what better time to learn how you can keep your home warm and cosy without turning the heater on?
1. In the bathroom
There’s nothing worse than coming out of a warm shower and onto cold tiles. Bath mats and luxurious towels are just two great, inexpensive ways to retain heat. Plus, you can maintain body warmth a lot more effectively with a cosy robe.
2. In the bedroom
No one likes getting into a cold bed, but you can warm up much faster simply by swapping cotton sheets for flannelettes – you can even get flannelette quilt covers. Complete the perfect cosy sleep space with a soft blanket, and you’ll be warm in no time at all.
3. In the living room
Lounge rooms are often the biggest spaces in the house, meaning it can be difficult to effectively heat the whole area. Instead, warm up with cushions, thick, knitted throws and plush rugs – especially if you have tiled or hardwood floors.
4. Outdoors
We can’t all have those wonderful outdoor heaters you see so often at cafes and restaurants, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy al fresco dining in winter. Simply rug up, cover those outdoor chairs to keep in the warmth, add some cushions and candles and you’ll want to eat outside every night.
