Yes, definitely! Stopping draughty is one of the most cost effective ways of stopping your room/house cooling down. Don’t have to be fancy, I’d suggest a trip to Dunelm or IKEA and see what they have. I think I picked up some thermal liners (already had curtains) a few years ago from dunelm for £10-15 a set and it’s made the world of difference vs just having single unlined curtains.
IKEA had some nifty honeycomb looking thermal blinds that looked great, but only in fixed lengths and couldn’t be cut so didn’t work for me but they looked fab.
Other option is secondary glazing, especially if the window rarely gets opened might be worthwhile

Speaking of curtains. Any recommendations for insulated/thermal curtains and blinds? Are they worthwhile? I'm looking in particular to prevent heat loss through a somewhat drafty, single glazed bay window. The other windows in the house are all double glazed but do with new blinds anyway so if thermal ones make a difference I might as well go for those.
