14 Swedish Winter Home Secrets That Keep Your House Warm Without Turning Up the Heat

📖 My book, The Swedish Home Method: 45 Swedish fixes for everyday home problems, written down for American homes: https://linneaholm.com Swedish winter home secrets that keep your house warm without turning up the heat, from my own house outside Uppsala, where the winters are long and dark and the heating stays low. In this video, I share fourteen of them, in order: the vindfång entry room and the door curtain that copies it, three pane windows and window film, the inner winter windows from the attic, weatherstripping, curtains closed at dusk, rag rugs on cold floors, the idea behind the kakelugn tile stove, airing the Swedish way, closing the doors to rooms you aren't using, wool socks, wool blankets and layers, lamps in every window, candles for warm light, and the last secret, which ties them all together. Every one comes with a cheap American version and what it costs. Most importantly, try one evening this week: close every curtain when it gets dark, put on wool socks, and turn the thermostat down two degrees. Chapters 00:00 Why Swedish houses stay warm 00:00 1.
