A little more information about your room would help, but here are a few suggestions.

Use one of the plastic kits on your windows to cut down on drafts. Also, hang heavier drapes on your windows, making sure they completely cover the window and the window trim. Keep them closed at night, but open during the day if the window gets sun.

Check to see if you are getting drafts around light switches and plug ins. If so, see if you can insulate or caulk around them.

Use one of those things like a snake (you can make your own by stuffing socks with fabric), or even a folded towel, along the bottom of doors to keep heat in and drafts out. If you can, put weather stripping around your door for the same purpose.

If there is a fireplace in the room, make sure the flue is closed.

Can you install a ceiling fan? They make a room warmer in winter.

If the room isn't carpeted get a thick rug. Even if it is carpeted, add another rug for its insulation value.

Can you make any significant changes to the room? Such as using one of the new kits designed for basements to increase the insulation in the room? They are relatively easy to install. Or install an insulating material on any outside walls.

Talk to someone at a store such as Lowe's or Home Depot for further suggestions.

I hope this helps.

Turn on the heat. But perhaps you are looking for something other than that.

Double paned windows help quite a bit. So does more insulation in the walls and ceiling. Make sure that windows close without cracks. If the room has a door that leads to the outside, make sure it doesn't let air in thru the sides or at the top or bottom.

Proper use of curtains or blinds helps too. When the room has good sun coming in the windows, opening the curtains/blinds can help. At other times close them.

I would use a heater and put plastic up on the windows. There are kits for the windows. I would seal all cracks and holes on the walls and ceiling. I would check all the outlets for drafts. There is insulation that you can buy for them too. Put weather striping around outside doors and fold a towel to put along the bottom of it. Put a rug on the floor or on top of the existing one for more insulation. If it's not a room with an outside door and the rest of the house is warm, leave the door open. Let the sun in through the windows for more heat.

Hi, We have a similar problem, and bought a space heater. I does not distribute heat well, so downstairs it is really cold, and upstairs it is fine. We found a space heater at Sam's Club that moves around and looks like a fan. It rotates and heats up quickly. If someone hits it or knocks it over it turns off for safety. Hope this helps.

apply plastic to your windows. they sell the kits at HOME DEPOT OR HARDWARE STORES. no heat in your room? use a safe electric heater while you are in your room doing things but turn it off to go to bed and wear socks with your pj's.and some warm blankets.
