Seal Any Draughts
This is one of the cheapest ways to improve the warmth of your home. Heat will be quickly lost when warm air exits through small gaps in your home and you'll then use a lot of energy in reheating your home. When a home is draught-free, rooms will stay cosy for longer. Small gaps will often be found around windows and doors and loft hatches, as well as from unused chimneys and around pipes leading to outside, for example. You can opt for professional draught-proofing but DIY draught-proofing is cheaper and certainly worth trying as a first port of call.
Use Curtains
One simple method of helping to keep a home warmer is to use curtains. They act as another layer of installation so at night, or on gloomy days you may wish to keep them closed. Equally, be sure to make use of the sunlight in the day time, ensuring your curtains are open, allowing the sun to enter and gently heat your rooms.
Reflect the heat
A radiator reflector will ensure heat is not lost through the external wall which can help keep your room warmer for longer. This is a cheap and efficient method to use.
Use rugs and carpets
A thick rug or carpet can act as an insulating layer, keeping your room warmer and more comfortable.

Simply taking time to consider the most efficient way to arrange your furniture, can help to increase a home's warmth. It's worth having a look around your room to check if your rooms are rearranged in the most heat effective way, for example, are your radiators blocked by large items of furniture? Could you move sofas away from the windows or doors? Do you have space for an additional radiator? Considering the most efficient way to display and arrange your furniture can help to reduce your heating bills.
