Get heavier sheers and curtains

Lightweight sheers and curtains could also be the reason why you're struggling with a cold home. It's actually a real fact that these light fabrics let in more cold air and retain less heat.

This means that even when you have a heater, the heat will escape faster either way. A solution is to invest in those heavy-duty materials that will keep in more heat during cold seasons.

Rearrange your furniture

Another trick that could work is rearranging your room in a way that moves you further away from cold areas. For example, if you have your bed or sofas too close to the window, you will automatically always feel like the room is extra cold.

Think of an arrangement that won't directly place you in the cold spot in your home.

Block out the draught at the doors

You could also find ways to keep the cold air from coming in through the bottom area of your doors. Some doors have a wide gap at the bottom that brings in too much draught, which makes the room feel colder.

There are some draught blockers you can buy and place on your doors. You could also place a small blanket there as a DIY draught stopper at night.
