If you have hard floors such as timber or tiles, now is a great time to pull out those cosy, warm rugs. Not only do they help retain heat, they also feel lovely under feet.
Sheer curtains look amazing and are fantastic for those balmy summer nights but in winter, they aren’t very good at keeping the cold air out.
Thick window coverings, such as curtains to the floor, are a great way to keep the cold air outside.
It’s important to keep your air filters clean through the season. If your home is susceptible to dust (whose isn’t) and pet hair, it is essential to clean them once or twice per season. This will make air flow better and more hygienic while also saving on your energy bill – win/win!
