So, our glorious summer has now drawn to an end and we must prepare ourselves for what we hope to be a mild winter. With everyone thinking of ways to keep warm and trying to beat the heating costs, here a few warming ideas we hope will help.
Firstly, we have a wide selection of throws to snuggle up under while on the sofa, or as an added layer on the bed. Ranging from classic wool throws, to cosy fleeces or our luxurious furs. These come in a variety of colours and designs so you can find the perfect one for your home.
Instead of turning on your main lights why not save a little energy by using a lamp to create an ambient light in the room. We have many to choose from, and now with led bulbs to keep the electric usage down it can be a good solution. Candles are also becoming more popular as a way to keep electricity bills down. We have beautiful tea lights, candles with holders and hurricanes ideal for giving a lovely warm glow to your room.
Curtains are a great way to help keep the heat in. Adding a thermal lining is an effective way to prevent draughts from coming through the windows, especially as our cold winter months try their best to get through the newest of windows! We have a large collection of fabrics available, and our in store interior designer is always happy to help guide you to the right choice.
Rugs are perfect for creating a warm feeling, add to wooden floors which in the summer are great to keep cool, but in the winter months can be a bit chilly under foot. With so many to choose from in our Rug Room, located in our High Street branch, you will be spoilt for choice. If you are thinking of changing your carpet it is the perfect time to make sure you have a high quality underlay which have the benefit of keeping the warmth in.
