We are nearing Christmas season which means the weather is expected to get colder and colder as days pass by. This means that we have to grab our favorite shawl, drink that hot chocolate, and cozy up to something warm. If you’re living in a location where the climate goes dangerously low during this season (like Tagaytay or Baguio), then you might want to do something to your home to avoid getting the chills.
Getting an air conditioner or a thermostat may be too expensive and too bad for the environment. For a sustainable and list of top home hacks that can definitely keep your home warm.
Open your curtains
Letting the sunshine come in to your home can decrease the amount of cold that you’re feeling. Close the curtains when the sun is out to avoid getting the cool breeze in.
Use rugs
Put rugs on hardwood floors or tiles. Tiles and hardwood floors are the number one conductor of cold inside your home. By putting rugs, you are making your home cozier than ever.
Insulate using bubble wraps
You can finally use those stacked bubble wraps that you got from your appliance boxes. Cut heat loss in half by using bubble wraps as insulator. Put it against your windows to avoid the heat from coming out.
Let shower water humidify your home
Those excess water from your shower finally has a use! Don’t drain the water when you take a hot shower. Let the water sit still and humidify the whole place.
Draft stoppers are your friend
The gap in your front door can cause for the wintry air to come inside. Avoid this by using draft stoppers. Put it at the gap between the door and the floor and voila. The hot air will stay inside your home while the cold one will always be outside.
Bake something up!
Cook or bake a delicious meal using your oven. After whipping up a delicious treat, open your oven for a little bit to let its steam humidify your home’s air. You’re not only going to indulge yourself with yummy treats, you’re also got your home a little bit warmer.
Filled it with candles
Another hack is to unleash your collection of scented candles and lighten them up. Put it in your bathroom, in your room, or living room. The candles will not only help you warm up, it will also fill up the air with sweet scents that you definitely deserve.
Save money and yourself from the harsh cold season! Follow the hacks above and have a very merry and cozy ber months!
