Line your curtains

Adding a thermal lining to your curtains will help your home retain warmth, by blocking the cold coming in and stopping the heat getting out. That means you need less heat to stay warm, saving money as well as energy -- fewer draughts could help you reduce your room temperature by 1°C. This could cut your heating bills by up to 10 percent saving you around £55 per year. Watch our step by step video on how to line your curtains without using a sewing machine.
