Keeping Your Home Cozy

Winter Home Tips

January is the perfect time to check in on your home. Between colder temperatures and shorter days, a few small adjustments now can make your space more comfortable—and help prevent headaches later in the year.

Here are a few things we recommend:

• Check for drafts: Inspect windows and doors for air leaks. Adding weather stripping or updating caulking can make a big difference in comfort and energy bills.
  

• Protect plumbing: Insulate pipes in colder areas of the home to avoid freezing or bursting.
  

• Freshen your air: Winter air can feel dry. Consider a humidifier or regularly changing HVAC filters to maintain healthy indoor air.
  

• Inspect your roof and gutters: Snow and ice buildup can cause leaks or damage. A quick check now can save a lot of hassle later.

And if you need a little inspiration this season, this holiday card from a recent client shows how thoughtful design and small details, like a sewn snowflake, can make a home feel cozy and welcoming.
