It is important to keep the room warm in winter, but not everyone has the option of a room heater. Even if there is no heater, you can make your room comfortable by adopting some home and smart measures. Let us learn these easy methods.
1. Use thick curtains and carpets
Cold air comes in through windows and doors. This can be prevented by applying thick curtains. Spreading carpet or rug on the floor reduces the cold and maintains warmth in the room.
2. Seal doors and windows
Air comes in from the bottom of the doors and the sides of the windows. Place a draft stopper or a roll of old cloth at these places. This will keep the room temperature stable.
3. Hot water bottle or hot pad
Keep a hot water bottle in bed before sleeping. It retains heat for a long time and gives you a comfortable sleep.
4. Take advantage of the sunshine
Open the windows during the day and let the sunlight come in. Sunlight heats the room naturally. Close the windows in the evening so that the heat does not go out.
5. Minimize the room
If the room is large, then reduce the space by installing curtains or folding screens. Small space heats up quickly and the heat lasts for a long time.
6. Blankets and thermal bedding
Use thermal bedsheets and thick blankets. They maintain body heat and protect from cold.
7. Candle or clay lamp
Light a candle or lamp in a safe place. It gives mild warmth and also makes the atmosphere of the room pleasant. Keep in mind to never leave it unattended.
8. Benefits of cooking
If the kitchen is near the room, keep the door open while cooking. The heat coming out of the gas warms the room a little.
Even if there is no room heater, you can keep the room warm with these easy and inexpensive measures. Just keep safety in mind and use natural methods properly.
