Your guide to a cosy home in winter

Winter is a season that not everyone likes: temperatures drop, there are few hours of light, laziness increases and often what you want is to stay indoors in the warmth.
In this article we want to talk to you about how to face the winter season in the right way, making your home a warm and snug place where you can spend your time in the best possible way, especially during the coldest and grayest days.

Here are our favourite ways to create a cosy home in Winter!

Create a warm and comfortable place

With cooler weather outside, it’s time for our central heating to work. However, using it too much can be expensive, as a temperature between 18 and 21 degrees Celsius is enough to make your home comfortable. Furthermore, considering energy consumption, setting it too high will make the boiler work harder and costs increase, so it is better to use the heating wisely for our own good and that of the planet.
Keep an eye on the temperature with room thermometers.

If you have a stove or a fireplace, you can easily create a pleasant atmosphere that recalls houses or mountain refuges. Watching the fire burning creates an optical effect that relaxes and almost hypnotizes... shortly, the atmosphere that these heat sources evoke is truly unique. In this case, our advice is to use ecological firelighters for natural, practical and safe ignitions and cleaners that keep stoves and fireplaces clean.

How to keep the heat in

It’s not good spending all the time, effort, and money on heating your home if it disappears through draughty doors and windows.
Windows are a big culprit for losing heat, especially if your home has single glazing. Treating yourself to a lovely thick pair of curtains has benefits that extend beyond keeping the warmth in: they’re stylish, add privacy, and can even keep your home cooler in the summer months. You can also stop heat escaping from underneath your doors with a good old draught excluder. There are so many styles available that you can treat these as another way to add some style to your space – as well as keeping it cosy.

Comfort and order

Is there anything better than getting into a nice, cosy bed after a chilly day?
Make sure your bed is as snug as possible!
Top tip: use vacuum bags, underbed storage and box containers to keep your out-of-season bedding stored away until next year.

Comfort inside

Instead, when it comes to comfort in all respects, to keep warm we can certainly wear comfortable enveloping socks, perfect especially when you are curled up on the sofa for a movie night or maybe working from home.
If all else fails, you can’t go wrong with a good old fashioned hot water bottle.

Hospitality also in the kitchen

Winter is a time for steaming bowls of home-cooked loveliness: from soups to cream soups, not to mention baked lasagna, all dishes that will surely be appreciated by our guests and that can be stored to be enjoyed at other times such as during lunch break. Thankfully, cooking delicious meals in winter doesn’t have to be time-consuming. With the nights getting darker much earlier, every second of daylight counts, so simply prepare everything ahead of time and pop it on during the day, leaving you with more time to enjoy that winter sunlight and go on walks with the family. In this case, our containers are certainly useful for filling the freezer with these delicious dishes.
