Light Smarter: Daylight, LEDs, and Controls
Position desks, reading nooks, and dining tables near windows to harness free daylight. Use pale walls with a subtle sheen to bounce light deeper, and ask readers to share their favorite sunlit corners.
Windows That Work: Heat, Light, and Comfort
Let winter light in and block harsh summer sun. South-facing spaces love thermal curtains and strategic shading. Add mirrors opposite windows to extend brightness without adding a single fixture.
Materials That Matter: Surfaces, Textiles, and Finishes
Stone, brick, and polished concrete absorb daytime warmth and release it slowly. Pair with rugs in winter for cozy toes, then roll them back in summer to feel delightfully cool.
Materials That Matter: Surfaces, Textiles, and Finishes
Thick rugs, layered throws, and upholstered panels soften acoustics and help retain warmth. Pick natural fibers for breathability and durability. Tell us your coziest textile that earns its keep all year.
Layout for Efficiency: Airflow, Zoning, and Comfort
Keep sofas and bookcases away from radiators and registers to ensure air moves freely. Blocked vents force systems to work harder. Snap a photo of your cleared vent—small wins, big comfort.
Layout for Efficiency: Airflow, Zoning, and Comfort
Create cozy reading corners with focused warmth or light, and keep workstations comfortable with desk lamps and footrests. Targeted comfort means fewer whole-home adjustments and lower monthly bills.
Smart Tech, Smaller Footprint
Thermostats That Learn You
A smart thermostat adjusts temperatures when you’re away and pre-warms before you wake. Combine with zoned schedules to minimize waste. Comment with your favorite comfort schedule for winter mornings.
See It to Save It
Energy monitors reveal which devices sip or guzzle power. Once you spot silent culprits, swap or unplug them. Post your biggest surprise and inspire others to run an evening audit.
Automations That Feel Human
Create home scenes: “Movie Night” dims lights and slows fans; “Out” cuts standbys and lowers heat. Start with one scene today, then subscribe for our monthly automation prompts.
