November is almost here, and the chilly weather is rolling in for the fall lovers to enjoy. Although curling up with a blanket and sipping hot cocoa is ideal during the colder seasons, no one wants to feel the chill in their house. To avoid uncomfortably low temperatures in your home, we've compiled some winter weather essentials to add around the house to ease the transition from fall to winter!
Swap out bedding
Wash and store away your airy summer bedding, and reach for the down comforter or wool throws instead. Remember to always layer on some bedding sheets for extra comfort and warmth.
Check out your seasonal wardrobe
Prep your closet for the upcoming winter weather by taking out your stored, bulky sweaters and packing up your shorts and tank tops. Make sure to put your sandals towards the back of your closet and proudly display your boots in the front.
Bring out your winter essentials
Fortunately, apartment living means you do not have to worry about fixing plumbing, windows, or other significant items around your home. So begin focusing on the winter essentials you may have missed in previous years. Do you only have two pairs of fuzzy, cozy socks from last year? Then shop for some more to ensure toasty feet all season long!
Reverse your ceiling fan
Have you ever notice a reverse button on your ceiling fan? Flip that switch, and you will change your fan's rotation to pull cold air towards the ceiling rather than pushing it down. By doing so, you will warm your room and keep a cozy atmosphere throughout your apartment.
Insulated Curtains
We all love big and gorgeous windows that let in tons of natural light during the summertime. Unfortunately, it does not provide the same effect during the colder months. The glass from windows attracts the cold and brings a chill into your apartment. An excellent way to help keep the warm air in and the cold air out is to invest in insulated curtains. Staying away from lightweight materials like lace, sheer linen, and cotton is essential when keeping the cold at bay. Instead, look for dense fabrics like velvet, tapestry, or Belgian linen.
