Are you looking for alternative ways to insulate your home this winter?  Adding insulation is a great way to keep energy bills down and cold air out during the chilly months.  However, especially for apartment renters, it can be difficult or impossible to add insulation to the walls of your home.  Therefore, here are four ways to add some warmth and decoration to your home:

• Tapestries
• Heavy drapes
• Bookcases
• Rugs

All of these things can easily be added to a rented home and taken with you when you leave.
