Heat bars and heat lamps

Heated towel bars in the bathroom add warmth and do double duty by keeping towels warm in winter and drying them in summer. Heat levels can be adjusted on some models and boosted in the cooler months. Buy a heat lamp for the bathroom that can be mounted as a separate unit or replace the existing ceiling light.

Upholstery

Use heavier textured fabrics such as chenilles, cotton and wool mixes for sofas and chairs. A misconception is that wool is 'hot'; it can keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It all depends on the quality of the wool and the weave.

Wallpaper

Wallpaper can create a cosy atmosphere as well as not being cold to the touch. An accent wall here or there, behind the sofa or headboard, can make all the difference.
