Carpet is great for insulation and will stop heat escaping through the floor boards. If you\u2019re more of the fancy free and footloose type, you might not even have carpet. If that\u2019s the case, invest in a thick, sizeable rug. It\u2019ll help keep the heat in your room and keep the drafts out, meaning you can turn the heating down and save money on your energy bills.<\/p>\n

A space heater is ideal for this, as although it does use a lot of electricity it will cost less than heating up the whole house. They don\u2019t have to be an eye-sore; you can get vintage ones like the one below from Etsy.<\/a><\/p>\n Source<\/a><\/p>\n 3.)Energy Efficient Light bulbs<\/strong><\/p>\n I know what you\u2019re thinking \u2013 you\u2019re imagining bare light bulbs in a stark hotel room that take five minutes to reach a point for you to see anything. Not so, friends. Plumen<\/a> have pledged to make the energy saving light bulb more attractive, both in the light they give off and aesthetically. And they\u2019ve done a great job \u2013 these light bulbs use 80% less energy than the average one and they last about 8 times longer. The perfect way to save money, time and make your home look great!<\/p>\n Source<\/a><\/p>\n 4.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thermal Curtains<\/strong><\/p>\n Did you know that curtains are really great? Not only do they look nice but they\u2019re insulation heroes too. Thermal lined curtains are only a fraction more expensive than cotton lined curtains, and they genuinely help keep the heat in. If heat is escaping through your windows, thermal lined curtains are the ideal solution. For added warmth, get lined and inter-lined curtains.<\/p>\n Source<\/a><\/p>\n 5.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hot Water Bottles<\/strong><\/p>\n At risk of sounding dramatic, I think hot water bottles are the most over-looked winter accessory of all time.\u00a0 They\u2019re the best things ever. They cost about \u00a35 each, take a minute to heat up and they keep you toasty for hours. Not only that but you can get some amazing designs that will fit in with your interior and bedding. Not On The High Street<\/a> is the best place to find unique and quirky hot water bottles.<\/p>\n![\"Warm](\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/rug.jpg\")
