So instead of cranking up the heat causing your energy bill to shoot up in the coldest season, try the below tips and tricks to warm up yourself and your home.

Use small space heater wisely

If your apartment doesn’t have a fireplace, a small space heater can help. This can help keep your small space room warm and comfy while keeping your energy bill to its minimum. Tip: when using the space heater in a small room, make sure to close all the doors to keep the heat concentrated in one area. Just make sure to turn it off when not in use.

Bring outdoor plants inside

Aside from keeping your outdoor potted plants alive during winter season, bringing them inside can give your apartment a “tropical oasis”.
