If you’re anything like us, you’ll be looking for the cheapest ways to stay cosy this winter.

The affordable homeware brand has a whole range of draught excluders that are not only seriously effective, but stylish enough to become part of your room’s decor.

We know draught excluders might sound a bit old-school, but sometimes the classic methods are the best.

Homes, especially older ones, lose a surprising amount of heat through the tiniest gaps under doors and windows. If you’ve got a front door nearby or live in a breezy hallway flat, you’ll definitely feel the chill creeping in.

A good draught excluder blocks cold air in its tracks and helps keep the warmth inside.
