How To Add Warmth To Your Home

As we head in the cooler months, we start to think about warming our homes. We could make our homes physically warmer by turning on the heat, tracking and blocking any loopholes and adding thick wool throws to wrap ourselves but we could also add warmth in much more subtle ways. Ways that are somewhat less literal but just as soothing to the psyche and soul.

Change your colour scheme:

Whilst sharp whites and cool blues operate beautifully in summer, swapping them out for warm hues will create cosier insides in the warmer months. This is really where slip-covered couches come into their own. Select white cotton covers for summer, and warm ecru or chocolate for winter. If you do not have slipcovers, you can obviously replace light scatter cushions with darker, more heavily textured ones and include toasty cable-knit throws.

Slippers:

It is a wonderful idea to slip off shoes in the front entrance, as it prevents a lot of dirt and germs being hauled to the home. Nonetheless, in the cooler months, hard flooring can be a bit cold on the feet. In this case, provide hotel-style or machine washable slippers for family and guests to make sure their feet stay warm.

Layered floors:

For similar reasons, layer floors with rugs. Whilst bare floors dotted with cotton rugs may be OK for summer -- in winter, you want something much more substantial. Thick, wool rugs function best. They feel beautiful underfoot and are comfortable for kids to play . Select warm tones in a shade or two lighter or darker than your couch.

ENGINEERED WOODEN FLOORINGS ARE GOOD FOR USE WITH UNDER FLOOR HEATING

Restaurants and gyms have a lot of visitors due to a high amount of motion and continuous cleaning. Therefore, such areas have engineered hardwood flooring and are good choices for use with under floor heating. Solid floors are ideally not suggested for areas with under floor heating as the changes in temperature cause the beneath floors to dry and enlarge or contract. The floors sometimes split which can warp the whole floor construction. Engineered wooden floors have more than one layer of ply wood beneath the real wood. Oak has a propensity to make a movement as a result of ecological alterations.
