Our dining room seems to have its own microclimate!
Always a few degrees warmer there than anywhere else.

Downstairs loo

Living room as long as people keep the door closed. Which is rare it seems.

SheSaidSheCouldButSheLied · 08/01/2026 16:14

Dining room. Two radiators in there.

My spare bedroom. We use it as an upstairs sitting room when it’s cold as it’s so cozy and always warm. The pets love it in there too!

IndigoIsMyFavouriteColour · 08/01/2026 16:28

Front room, it has the wood burner in it.

Same! I leave the door open to harvest the heat.

TheTortiePuffinNeedsHerBreakfast · 08/01/2026 16:31

Ds's bedroom. The radiator is quite big for the size of the room, plus it's sandwiched on the middle floor of our house so always the warmest place.

babasaclover · 08/01/2026 16:33

The landing where the pipes go under. It’s like a heated floor!

BoarBrush · 08/01/2026 16:34

Dds bedroom. It seems to get all the heat from the bathroom heater too and she has a heat light for her lizard. Kitchen is always freezeing, has a arch and only a tiny wee heater for the whole upstairs and downstairs hall and kitchen next to the arch.

deeahgwitch · 08/01/2026 16:35

Well it’s certainly not the kitchen which is registering 14 degrees.🥶

Supporterofwomensrights · 08/01/2026 16:35

Those of you that have cold kitchens, does that mean they're pleasantly cool in the summer? So you're suffering now but you're better off in June/July/August?

Edit: my answer is my open plan kitchen/living/diner as the radiator is up the highest. I wish my answer was the bathroom though - I really love a bathroom with under floor heating.

murasaki · 08/01/2026 16:35

Bathroom, despite the tiles and the fairly large window. Much warmer than the rest when the heating is on. The Arctic without it though.

Yes, in summer it's nice, especially barefoot on the tiled floor.

CheddarCheeseAndCrispSandwich · 08/01/2026 16:36

Downstairs loo… have been known to just go in there to warm up! 🚽

RedRiverShore6 · 08/01/2026 16:38

Lounge diner, our downstairs loo is at the back,of the house and is probably about 12 degrees, we don't tend to use it much in the winter

Not for me. But we’re in a pre-war building with really thick stone walls so it seems to be super cold in winter then annoyingly warm in the summer. The sun beams right into our kitchen window in the morning too so in the summer it warms the room before we even get up. We don’t have a heater or radiator in the kitchen which doesn’t help in the winter.

ShodAndShadySenators · 08/01/2026 16:52

Definitely the living room, as it has a nice efficient radiator and can be closed off. The ground floor is mostly kitchen/dining room/garden room which all open into each other*, and the rads in the kitchen and dining room can't keep up with the heat sink that is the garden room.

We tend not to use them much in winter, and huddle in the living room like hamsters.

*Illegally, as there should be doors between the garden room and others. But there's not, thank you previous owners! (They did buy some double glazed, Georgian bar doors to go in the gap betwixt dining room and garden room, but alas didn't actually fit them probably because they don't fit and previous owners were not DIY minded, using sticky tape to try to hold up wallpaper )

DoAWheelie · 08/01/2026 16:52

My bedroom is the coldest and my living room is the warmest.

I'm in a ground floor flat. The main hallway leading to the other flats is unheated so rooms closer to the front door are colder. The living room is furthest and my bedroom is right next to the door.

CatAsstrophe · 08/01/2026 16:59

Kitchen - woodburning stove in there as well as a radiator.

Blingismything · 08/01/2026 17:12

The main living room as it has underfloor heating and a multi fuel burner.

Buscobel · 08/01/2026 17:18

Cloakroom.

Biscuits4 · 08/01/2026 17:20

If the heating isn't on, the dining room as it gets sun most of the day. If heating is on our lounge/extension - the heating system was re-done before we moved in and there's a full length double radiator and and full length single - which is too much for a room of this size.

JohnTheRevelator · 08/01/2026 17:20

My bathroom! And for some reason my bedroom always feels cold.

pilates · 08/01/2026 17:21

Lounge - log burner on

TulipTuesday · 08/01/2026 17:21

Our kitchen/diner or the landing.

Definitely not the living room which has 3 external walls and a large bay window so is always cold.
