Some great advice from Floorpride Interiors Marlborough on choosing the right curtains and carpet to help keep your home cosy through the colder winter months.
Soft furnishings like these can make a real difference to warmth, comfort, and insulation - a simple way to help your home work a little smarter during winter.
🏠 As the cooler months roll in, it's the perfect time to think about warmth underfoot and at your windows.
Carpet and curtains aren't just beautiful — they genuinely keep your home warmer. Here are our top tips for a cosy Marlborough home this winter:
Choose carpet with a quality underlay. A good underlay is the unsung hero of warmth — it acts as an insulating layer between your floor and the cold ground, and makes your carpet feel luxuriously soft underfoot too.
Go floor-to-ceiling with your curtains. Longer curtains trap a layer of air between the fabric and the glass, dramatically reducing heat loss through your windows. Even a few extra centimetres at the hem makes a difference.
Use thermal or blockout lining. Adding a thermal lining to your curtains can cut heat loss through windows by up to 25%. It also blocks summer sun — so it's a year-round win.
Warmer tones, warmer feel. It's not just physics — colour psychology plays a role too. Rich earthy tones in carpet and curtain fabrics make a room feel warmer even before you turn the heat on.
