Woman shares the ingenious way she keeps her open-plan living room warm in the winter, and it doesn’t cost tonnes either
WITH FREEZING temperatures across the country loads of us are trying just about anything to keep warm.
And since the price of putting on the heating has soared people are sharing some of the clever tricks they’ve discovered.
If you’ve got an open-plan living room, you already know how hard it is to keep the entire space warm.
But woman shared how her sister managed to keep in the heat and it’s totally ingenious.
Posting in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook she shared a picture of the living room with an archway that leads to the dining room.
She said: “My sisters lounge and dining room ate joined by an arch.
“She’s done this with some thick curtains to help heat up the lounge at night.
“Not a bargain but I thought it was a good idea for anyone else who may need some tips to try and stay warmer this winter without putting the heating on.”
In the picture her sister added a curtain rail and some thick curtains over the arch in a bid to keep heat the room up faster.
Other users loved the idea and one said they’ve already done something similar in their home.
She commented: “Put a curtain up behind my front door last weekend.
“You can buy a single curtain in Dunelm and spring loaded poles for a hallway, cost £21 for both and has made a big difference.”
A second wrote: “Great idea, curtains really make a huge difference.”
And another said: “I did that years ago as my dining room goes into the kitchen via an arch and the kitchen gets baltic.
“I’m not in there much but It makes a huge difference.”
“We did the same when we lived at my mums! have a curtain over front door too,” someone else agreed.
