Winter is here, and keeping your home warm doesn’t have to mean sky-high energy bills. At Sue Cardy Curtains, Blinds and Soft Furnishings, we’re dedicated to making your space more comfortable, stylish, and cosy. Here are our top hints and tips to keep the chill at bay:

Block Those Draughts

Draughts creeping under doors can cause a surprising amount of heat loss. Our draught excluders are a simple yet effective solution. Choose from plain cotton, luxurious velvet, or add a decorative trim to match your interior. Available in our shop and made to order. Prices start at just £25.

Layer Up Your Windows

Windows are one of the biggest culprits for heat escaping, so extra insulation is key:

  • Opt for lined or thermal curtains to keep warmth in.
  • Combine blinds and curtains for an added layer of insulation. The blind creates a barrier to reduce draughts, while the curtain helps retain warmth.
  • Consider using EnviroFilm, a variety of window films we offer that provide additional insulation. EnviroFilm helps keep your home warm in the winter by reducing heat loss through windows and also works to keep it cool in the summer.

Keep the Heat Where You Need It

Adding a door curtain over your front or back door is an elegant way to reduce draughts and create a snug atmosphere. Choose a fabric that complements your home for both style and practicality.

Add a Cosy Touch with Rugs

Sue Cardy also offers a range of beautiful rugs, available to order, which can help insulate your floors and add warmth to your space. A rug can act as an extra barrier against cold floors and contribute to a more comfortable, cosy home.

Other Quick Fixes

  • Let the heat circulate: Keep your radiators clear of furniture for better heat circulation.
  • Maximise natural heat: Open your curtains during the day to let the sun’s warmth in, then close them as soon as it gets dark to trap the heat.
  • Close off unused rooms: Keep doors shut in rooms you don’t use to contain warmth in the spaces you do.

By following these tips, you’ll enjoy a cosier home all winter long. Don’t forget, Sue Cardy can help you create bespoke curtains, blinds, draught excluders, and rugs to make your home warmer and more beautiful.
