One of the simplest solutions is the correct arrangement of furniture. If you have the wardrobes or the sofa pushed close to the walls, you prevent the heat from dispersing around the room. A few centimeters of free space is enough and the cold walls will start to warm up thanks to better air circulation.
Another proven tip is to add textiles to the walls. For example, curtains, tapestries or even bookcases full of books can act as an insulating layer. Not only does the room feel warmer, but it also acquires a cozier atmosphere. If you like creative solutions, try making fabric panels, all you need is a frame, fabric and a little skill.
Are your radiators running at full blast and yet the heat seems to be disappearing? A simple solution is reflective films placed behind the radiators. These inexpensive gadgets return heat back into the room instead of being lost to the walls. You can find them at any home improvement store and they only take a few minutes to install.
Don’t forget the air humidity either. When the air is dry, the walls feel cooler. Just place a humidifier in the room or dry the clothes directly in the room. Thanks to the moist air, the heat is retained better and the room feels more pleasant.
If you’re looking for a more permanent solution, try interior insulation panels or thermal coating. You attach the panels directly to the walls and the room will immediately be warmer. The coating is an unobtrusive solution that will significantly improve the insulation, while preserving the appearance of the walls. Although these methods require a little more work, the reward will be pleasant warmth and comfort in every corner of your home.
