Winter is approaching for many of us and it’s time to bring out those sweaters and jackets. Our homes also need a change of wear for the season. Here are five few quick tips to prepare your bedroom for the coming cold months: 1. Layer your bed with cushions and blankets. This is a simple and

practical way to add warmth. Dark colours work well with a neutral background. 2. You can keep a think rug and slippers near your bed. Save your feet from biting cold as you get up in the mornings.

3. You can think of adding a lamp near your bed. The warm glow will add to the ‘warmth’ on a grey day. 4. If you have any metallic furniture or fixtures, you can cover it with blankets…and protect yourself from the cold of furniture. 5. Keep a hot water bottle handy; you can even have a cover for it knitted.
