We tried curtains and the heavy ones do look very bordello, thought we would get used to it but didn't. Then tried light linen ones which looked nice but didn't do anything.
Eventually gave up and put a radiator in. Doesn't seem to have upped our energy bills noticably, probably as the rest of the house feels more comfortable at a lower temperature without a howling ice wind coming in from the hallway. Radiator cover makes for a useful hallway shelf too.

Our hallway is colder than a polar bears tits.
It's not like we need it heated, but we can't really isolate it from the rest of the house, and it's just sucking heat away.
I guess options are to get a new front door & transom (currently solid wood & single glaze) - which would be both expensive & fugly (if we went with an insulated / synthetic material).
We could put a doorway, but that feels like it would be a windup pretty quickly.
Would a heavy curtain just be a bit too Parisian bordello?
