Cold Weather Fixes…

Want to feel warmer?  Make sure you’re surrounded by warm colours and nix the cooler ones.  The difference in perceived temperatures can be as much as 5 degrees Fahrenheit.

Similarly, when we see images of warm places or other reminders of warm parts of the world, we feel warmer, even without changing the temperature on the thermostat.

Heat up your world by ditching the surfaces that feel cold to the touch like metals and make sure you have plenty of those that seem warmer, like wood.  Best of all are options that both feel warm initially and retain the heat of your body after you’ve touched them—again natural materials can work well.

No time to paint or add stuff?  Open the curtains.  We think spaces are warmer when they are naturally lit than when they’re not.
