Curtains, clothing or other flammable materials may come into contact with hot surfaces, which could start a fire. If you plan to use a space heater extensively, you might consider having a permanent one installed by an electrician. An alternative to space heaters might be covering windows with plastic film. This may have as much effect on comfort as a portable heater. Kits are available that can be removed easily in spring without damaging woodwork.
Window coverings can stop drafts and reduce heat lost through window glass.
