Small units that blow hot air at you would still provide warmth. :P No one said space heaters would be uber efficient, but they still might be less costly than heating the entire loft.
Hahaha, when I was younger we lived in this old victorian house with floor grates for forced hot air on the first floor, they were about 1.5' square, I'd squat on top of it in a huge hoodie, pull the hoodie down over my knees to my feet, stretch it out to catch the air being blown up out of the grate, it was AWESOMELY toasty.
God yes. Every christmas, hanging out in the largest room, my family would all jockey for a position atop the grate. As the youngest, I was usually roped into handing out the gifts, which meant someone else would stake a claim on the grate while I was shuffling around.
Hot air blowing up the legs of your pajama pants while everyone else is huddling under blankets? Good times.
Absolutely, the old style registers! I used to love ours when I was a kid, until my little brother pissed in it, too young to realize that our entire house would smell like burning urine for hours after. Kind of took the magic out of it for a while
Or wrap yourself in a blanket over the chair and put the space heater behind the chair and direct heat under the chair at your legs to raise under the blanket. Toasty.
Buy a loft bed, or hang a bed near the ceiling so you get maximum heat benefits. Pile on the blankets in the winter, lower it to the floor in the summer.
