How to insulate a window in a baby's room?

Question

I am currently renting. The place that we have has single pane windows. We currently have those really heavy curtains for more insulation but they are extremely ugly. Now we are expecting a baby and I want to take the curtains down but I need to know how to insulate the windows. I see those kits you shrink with a hair dryer but I just want to do the best thing possible. Can anyone help?!

Answer 1

Well, you could fabricate a storm window to attach on the outside of the house to cover the window and provide dead air space for additional insulation.

Answer 2

Well, the Insulated Curtains are great. Ugly you can fix by placing another curtain on top of it and sewing it together, either by hand or machine to change the look and color and texture that is visible. Those kits might work too, can't help you there.

Answer 3

I saw one of those DIY shows the other night about insulating windows and they used simple contact paper.  The stuff that you put on books.  They got the clear paper and stuck it on.  You could not see it and and they said it worked wonders.
