Tips To Winterfy Your Home
Published on: 10 Nov 2024
Finally, after all those rainy days, winter are here. And as the seasons change, our homes must undergo specific changes too, so we are here to help you winterise your homes. I know we would rather be sipping on hot coffee, curled up in our blankets but it is essential to winterise your home.
This winter sets the perfect ambience for your home. Winters might come off as dull when we want to wrap ourselves in a cosy blanket and not do anything, but the season can be a good opportunity to add bright colours to your home. You can brighten up your home by adding warm rugs and carpets.
Tip: Adding heavy bright curtains, to keep the wind and cool breeze out of your way. These will also add a good, refreshing element to your home.
Adding a few indoor plants
As we know winters are cold which means that we will be spending most of our time indoors, so think about adding a few elements like indoor plants to keep you company this winter. Not only are indoor plants a good addition to your home but they also provide you with various health benefits.
Tip: Snake plant and spider plant are the two best plants which thrive in winter.
Throwing in some layers
It’s time to take out all the warm blankets and cosy comforters you stored for the winter. Modify the bedroom space keeping in mind the mood of winter. Shift the furniture, add carpets, heavy curtains and warm bed sets. Up to 40% of the heat escaping from your home can be through the windows. You can stop this by using heavier, lined curtains in winter to properly insulate windows and limit where hot air can get out. Be it layering with clothes in winter or layering your home in winter the end goal is the same, feeling warm and cosy.
Sealing windows and doors
What could be more irritating than the cold wind sneaking in to tickle your feet and disrupting the warm atmosphere of your home? Be sure to check for any repairs that need to be fixed. Sealing windows and doors is the first thing you should do. In case of any repairs get the windows and doors fixed. Here are 2 simple solutions to insulate windows:
1. Rope caulk: This soft, sticky stuff can be moulded to fill the gap — and the caulk removes easily at the end of the cold season.
2. Shrink film: Applied with double-sided tape, this clear plastic sheeting shrinks drum-tight when heated with a hair dryer. The film seals off drafts and captures an insulating buffer of air. Use rubbing alcohol to help release the tape in the spring to avoid stripping off any paint.
Install a heating system
The most important one is to get your geysers and heaters checked, if they haven’t been used in a long time it becomes necessary to get it checked before using them. Using smart devices at home to keep your home warm is a good way to fight the winters too. Using devices like space heaters which don’t take up much room and they help you stay toasty in the cool pockets of your home. The newer smart space heaters can be controlled via apps or voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Home.
As for bed heaters, this gadget revs up the heat under your sheets to about 30 degrees in just three minutes, with an automatic shutoff.
Scents
As winter heads our way, the smells around the home start to change due to doors and windows mostly being closed. An easy way to tackle this is lighting up some scented candles! It would not only get rid of unwanted smells but also spread a pleasant aroma in your home. Oil diffusers work in an excellent way too.
So when the temperature drops it’s time to warm things up and consider how to keep the house cosy and fresh in winter. Looking for more easy-to-follow and implemented tips on making your home cozier than usual? Follow our blogs or visit our website today.
