You’ve probably experienced it before: a hot, stuffy bedroom where you struggle to fall asleep, or a freezing bathroom that leaves you shivering after a shower. The temperature in your home does more than just make you feel comfortable—it affects your sleep, health, and even your energy consumption.
Did you know that the ideal room temperature can vary significantly from one room to another? Let’s walk through your home and explain the optimal temperature for each space, along with practical tips to achieve it efficiently and energy-consciously.
Living room: 19–21°C | Relax in comfort without wasting energy
The living room is where you unwind, work, or spend time with your family. You want it to feel comfortable without your energy bills skyrocketing. For most people, 20°C is a pleasant temperature. If you spend a lot of time sitting still, like on the couch or at a home office, 21°C may feel even more comfortable. Want to save energy?
Consider using a personal heater to warm your immediate area rather than heating the entire room.
Bathroom: 20–22°C | Stay warm where you need it most
Nothing is more uncomfortable than stepping out of a warm shower into a cold bathroom. Because bathrooms typically have high humidity and little clothing coverage, even slightly lower temperatures can feel unpleasant. A convector heater with a timer is perfect for a chilly bathroom—it ensures warmth only when you need it.
Ideally, choose a splash-proof model for safety, such as the Edge series.
Bedroom: 16–18°C | Deep, cool sleep
It may surprise you, but a cooler bedroom actually helps you sleep better. Your body naturally cools down as you fall asleep, and a room that’s too warm can disrupt this process, leaving your sleep lighter and less restorative. The ideal bedroom temperature is therefore between 16–18°C.
Ventilate during the day, and in summer, consider a quiet fan with a night mode. In winter, a heated underblanket or a brief warm-up with an electric heater before bedtime is usually sufficient.
Nursery: 18–20°C | safe, stable, and comfortable for little ones
For babies, maintaining a slightly warmer and more stable room temperature is especially important. A room that’s too hot can pose risks, while a room that’s too cold is uncomfortable for tiny bodies. Use a thermometer to monitor the room, and choose soft bedding materials. Avoid overly warm blankets or electric pillows.
An oil-filled radiator is a safe and stable choice for keeping the nursery at a comfortable temperature.
What is my ideal temperature differs?
Do you get cold easily, or does your partner constantly feel hot? Don’t worry! The “perfect” room temperature is partly personal. Use these guidelines as a starting point and adjust the climate to your preferences without wasting energy.
Warm and smart: Choosing heating that fits the room
Whether you want to quickly warm a small bathroom or keep your living room cozy and energy-efficient, there’s always a solution. Consider quiet, safe electric heaters with smart features like timers, thermostats, or app control. That way, you can enjoy personalized comfort exactly where and when you need it.
