Statistics show that around 60% of newly-built homes in the United States nowadays have at least one fireplace. Clearly, Americans like to stay warm.
As winter draws in and the holiday season begins, the requirement for warmth will be greater and greater. If you live in a cold climate, or your home has poor insulation, this is an especially important consideration.
Luckily, there are many different ways of staying warm in the home.
Read on as we share our top tips on keeping the heat in over the festive season!
Make Use of the Fireplace
As noted above, most houses have fireplaces. If yours has one, make sure you’re getting the most possible use out of it. Too many people use their radiators or central heating systems for the sake of convenience; however, fires get everyone to gather around, and they also add a wonderful atmosphere to the room.
If you don’t already have a fireplace, you should consider having one installed. Get in touch with SOMD Hearth for a professional, affordable service!
Not only will a fireplace keep you warm and bring the family closer together, it’ll also add to the value of your home.
Get in the Hot Tub
A hot tub is another way to both stay warm and have fun with others. No one has ever complained of being bored while in a hot tub!
If you live in a scenic area, what better way to spend the winter than by observing the surrounding landscape from the comfort of your own personal hot tub?
Get Some Nice Blankets
If you’re not in the mood to go to the trouble of installing a fireplace or hot tub, don’t worry. You have other options. For example, you could consider buying some new blankets to help keep the cold at bay.
For the bedroom, consider investing in a thicker duvet. A higher-quality option might set you back a few dollars, but a good duvet will keep you warm for years to come. This is especially important if you live in a colder area, as not being able to stay warm at night might cause you to miss out on sleep.
Wear Cosy Clothes
Ok, so this one doesn’t have much to do with the home. However, if you need to stock up on warm clothes, now is the time.
Not only will this help you to keep warm, it’ll also give you an opportunity to pick up some trendy clothes!
Staying Warm in Style this Festive Season
Staying warm is important for your health, your happiness, and your festive cheer! There are many ways you can do it, as we’ve shown here.
Whatever way you choose, make sure to be ready in time for Christmas!
