Winter has started slowly in many areas of Madhya Pradesh. Effects of mist and fog are clearly visible in the morning. As the temperature drops, people are looking for a variety of ways to get relief from the cold. The sale of room heaters in the market has also increased rapidly. Not everyone can afford this expensive device. This raises the question of how to keep a room warm without using a room heater.
In today’s post, we are going to tell you some easy, home remedies that can help you maintain natural heat in your room without spending any money. These measures will not only make your home comfortable but also prevent your electricity bills from rising.
1. Lay rugs on the floor – the easiest way to avoid the cold
In winter, the floor is the coldest part of the room. As soon as your feet touch the ground, the cold begins to sting your body. In such a case, try placing large rugs, carpets or mats in the room. Carpets absorb much of the floor’s coolness. Keeps room temperature constant. If you have a wool blanket or old rug lying around, they can also be used as a makeshift rug.
2. Heavy curtains on windows and doors – blocking cold air
In winter, cold air from outside is the biggest source of cooling in the room. Small gaps in windows and doors also allow cold to enter. Hence, thick, heavy curtains are essential. Thermal curtains are also available these days, which prevent cold air from entering the room. If you don’t have such curtains, a woolen shawl or thick blanket can also serve as a temporary curtain. This will help prevent heat in the room and make the atmosphere more comfortable.
3. Light candles in the room – the effect of natural heat
Not many people know, but the gentle heat emitted from candles can temporarily raise the temperature of a room. Nowadays, heat candles are also available in the market, which add warmth to a room in a short period of time.
4. Use a warm bed—double the warmth while sleeping
In winter, normal bedsheets stay cold, which makes you feel colder while you sleep. Therefore, you should use warm bedsheets, woolen covers, flannel fabric or thick blankets. If possible, place a light mattress or blanket under the bedsheet. This will keep the mattress cool and provide warmth. When the bed is warm, the whole room will feel warm.
5. Let the sunlight in – the greatest source of natural heat
If sunlight is available during the day, this is the most natural way to heat a room. Open the windows in the morning. Sunlight warms both the floor and the walls, an effect that lasts throughout the day. Sunlight not only warms the room but also reduces humidity in the home, reducing the risk of winter-related illnesses.
