How to Keep Your Static Caravan Warm and Cosy This Winter

With winter comes sub-zero temperatures, heavy rain and biting winds. If you are braving the cold and planning a winter getaway to your static caravan, then we have some tips to make it as warm and cosy as possible.

For warmth, we suggest:

1. Wearing a Hat

Wearing a hat inside may seem silly but it will protect your head, face and ears from the cold.

2. Thick Socks

Keep your feet warm in your caravan and invest in some fluffy or thermal socks.

3. Soft Furnishings

Invest in some soft blankets to keep you warm and to make the space cosier. For ultimate warmth, consider getting an electric blanket. Getting a duvet with a higher tog is another small change that will make all the difference in keeping you warm through cold nights. Cushions are also invaluable for keeping the heat in the caravan as well as making it cosy and homely.

4. Hot Water Bottle

Getting a hot water bottle for those extra cold evenings is a no-brainer. They are inexpensive and a cost-effective way of getting warm quickly.

5. Heater

If the electric blanket and hot water bottle are not enough, why not get a portable heater? They are small but mighty. They are capable of heating large areas and are another cost-effective warming solution. Be mindful that heaters may be hazardous when placed in certain positions.

6. Thermal Curtains

Cold air is most likely to enter through your windows, so thermal curtains are a great way to keep the cold out and the heat in. Choose a style you like, and your caravan will be warmer and cosier.

7. Rugs

Whether your caravan has wooden floors or is carpeted, a great addition would be a thick rug. It will act as an extra layer of insulation whilst also keeping your feet warm.

To make your caravan cosy, we suggest:

1. Fairy Lights

Fairy lights are the ultimate cosy lighting choice. They are decorative, atmospheric and an affordable choice for making your caravan cosy. You can choose between battery operated lights or plug-in ones – whichever suit you best.

2. Lamps

Warm bulbed lamps like salt lamps or a sunset will make your caravan instantly cosier. No one wants the harsh, white main light on when trying to feel at home!

3. Plants

Plants are a fantastic addition for adding some vibrancy and colour to your caravan. They also purify the air which is a bonus.

4. Reed Diffuser

As having candles may be hazardous, we suggest getting some reed diffusers to make your caravan smell homely. Why not choose winter scents for ultimate cosiness?

5. Speaker

Having a speaker will allow you to always have your music with you. You can also play your TV shows through the speaker to increase the sound quality and make a more enjoyable viewing experience. Just be mindful of your neighbours when it comes to noise.

6. Favourite Snacks

Get your favourite food and drinks in to feel totally at home.

Final thoughts

So, shut the curtains, turn off the main light, turn on your fairy lights and lamps, have your favourite warm drink and you will be as cosy as can be in your static caravan this winter.
