Apartments For Rent in Michigan

There are lots of ways to stay warm inside your apartment during the winter season. Aside from turning on the heater, there are plenty of tricks and hacks that you can easily do to keep your home cozy and comfortable.

So instead of cranking up the heat causing your energy bill to shoot up in the coldest season, try the below tips and tricks to warm up yourself and your home.

Use small space heater wisely

If your apartment doesn’t have a fireplace, a small space heater can help. This can help keep your small space room warm and comfy while keeping your energy bill to its minimum. Tip: when using the space heater in a small room, make sure to close all the doors to keep the heat concentrated in one area. Just make sure to turn it off when not in use.

Bring outdoor plants inside

Aside from keeping your outdoor potted plants alive during winter season, bringing them inside can give your apartment a “tropical oasis”.

Use throw blankets

Keep your throw blanket within your reach so you can easily grab it when it gets chilly. You can throw a blanket at your couch so you can keep yourself warm and comfortable while watching a movie, reading a book or sipping a cup of tea/coffee.

Use warmer bedding

Change your bedding into something warmer this winter season. You might find this too tedious but trust me; it’s all worth it after you are set and done with it. A nice comfortable bedding will keep you toasty all throughout the nice thus giving you a great relaxing sleep.

Use warm colors

Warm colors can create an illusion of a warm temperature. So better change the color of your pillows into shades of red or orange colors. Same thing goes with your blankets, curtains, rugs and other decors.

Bake or cook

Turn on the oven and bake something hot and yummy this winter season.  You can also cook some delicious soup that you and your family can enjoy during the cold weather. Baking and cooking not only gives you something to do during the lazy winter months but can also keep your apartment warm.

Seal cracks and holes

Even the tiniest hole or crack at your window, door or wall can affect your apartment’s indoor temperature. Check and thoroughly inspect your apartment and make sure that everything is shut and sealed properly.

Drink something hot

Hot chocolate, coffee or tea can help keep your body warm. If you don’t like any of these, a glass of beer or wine can surely help you out.

Take a relaxing warm bath

Light some candles in your bathroom and fill your tub with hot water and plenty of bubbles. Turn on the music while enjoying your warm bathroom.  Aside from keeping your body warm, doing this can also help your body release some stress and ease some tension.

Although these tips might sound so common and basic, they can surely help keep your apartment warm and comfortable all throughout the winter season.
