Are you able to add insulated window shades or drapes to the windows? That can help curb some drafts/block the cold from getting in, as well as stall heat from getting out.

If you can’t add more permanent curtain rods or hardware to the frames or walls, try finding “twist and shout” frame mounted hardware or tension rods for within the window frame to span across it.

Or, use non-marring ones, sometimes called over-the-frame style rods, which rely on wooden window framing to hold them up, using clips that slip behind the horizontal tops of or around the corners of the frame where the mitre edge is.

We did the plastic covers, and we’re looking to add some thicker curtains as well… it definitely made a difference.

We finally put those 100% blackout curtains up in all of our rooms and it's made a huge difference for us. It was pretty costly tho. Our house was built in the 20s so no actual insulation. We also got those draft stoppers for under doors. It helped stop some of those old house drafts as well.
