How to Stay Warm in the Korean Winter
As temperatures drop sharply, many people look for ways to stay warm indoors while keeping heating bills low. This is especially relevant for single-person households, students, and studio apartment residents who have limited control over central heating. In such cases, small lifestyle changes and the right items can greatly affect perceived warmth.
One popular item is the Daiso heater lamp. Shaped like a light bulb, it can be used in a stand or socket to provide localized warmth under desks or near the feet. It uses less electricity than standard heaters and is budget-friendly, but safety is important—avoid long use and keep flammable items away.
Thermal underwear remains the most effective basic solution. Lightweight but insulating innerwear helps maintain body heat without restricting movement. Wearing both top and bottom layers can allow you to lower indoor heating by 1–2°C without feeling colder, leading to noticeable savings.
Additional small items further improve warmth. Socks, lap blankets, electric seat cushions, and warm slippers help retain heat, especially around the feet and core. Thick curtains, draft stoppers, and window insulation film also reduce heat loss effectively.
Staying warm in winter is not just about increasing heating, but about reducing heat loss and choosing items suited to your living space.
