Replace the light curtains with heavier curtains and draperies:

You don’t want your home to be very cold and for this reason, it is time to wash, fold and keep the lighter curtains and draperies while the heavier ones take over. They go a long way to make your home warmer. The effect is felt more if the draperies and curtains come in fall colors as these are known to usher in instant warmth into the home.
