5 ways to keep your house warm in winter
Property expert Joshua Houston shared his tips.
1. Curtains
“Windows are a common place for the outside cold to get into your home, this is because of small gaps that can let in air so always close your curtains as soon as it gets dark,” he said.
This simple method gives you an extra layer of warmth as it can provide a kind of “insulation” between your window and curtain.
2. Rugs
“Your floor is another area of your home where heat can be lost and can make your home feel chilly,” he continued. “You might notice on cold days, that your floor is not nice to walk on due to it freezing your feet.
“Add rugs to areas that don’t already have a carpet, this provides a layer of insulation between your bare floor and the room above.”
3. Check your insulation
Check your pipes, loft space, crawlspaces and underneath floorboards.
“Loose-fill insulation is very good for this, and is a more affordable type of insulation, with a big bag being able to be picked up for around £30,” Joshua explained.
4. Keep your internal doors closed
“Household members often gather in one room in the evening, and this is usually either the kitchen or living room,” Joshua said.
“This means you only have to heat a small area of your home, and closing the doors keeps the heat in and the cold out.”
5. Block drafts
Don’t forget to check cat flaps, chimneys and letterboxes, as they can let in cold air if they aren’t secure.
Alongside the cheap buy, which has been reduced from £16 to just £2.20, Chelsea beamed: “These were in the reduced section however there was more on the bedding aisle!!”
The electric blankets, which have been slashed by £13.80, are suitable for single beds and will ensure you stay warm and cosy during colder nights.
They are made from snuggly fleece material and are super soft to touch.
But they are also durable, providing added comfort to your mattress.

They have three heat settings so that you can adjust to a temperature that is just right for you.
And if that wasn’t enough, these heated blankets also feature overheat protection for total peace of mind.
The chain praised the electric blanket as ‘an energy efficient and affordable way to stay warm for less’.
According to Asda, pre-heating your bed for one hour on a low heat setting costs as little as 1p, so you can afford to cosy up night after night.
