Many homeowners, including Instagram influencer @jamie_athome, hang a heavy curtain over their front door during winter, as it keeps the warm air inside and the cold air out.

Since doors, especially older ones, often lose heat due to small cracks, placing a thick curtain made of materials such as velvet can provide an additional layer of insulation.

To maximize this benefit, homeowners should choose thermal curtains, as they are specifically designed to control the heat transfer on either side of a door

Additionally, curtains with multiple layers can be more effective than their single-layer counterparts. Employing this method can also result in noticeable energy savings.
