We tend to forget about radiators when we are redecorating our homes. However, they can have a massive impact on a room.
Depending on your property, you may want to choose a very sleek and modern radiator or maybe you would prefer a more dramatic traditional style in a statement colour.
Modern radiators
It should go without saying, but modern radiators are the perfect fit for new builds. They can come in a variety of different styles and can serve many stylistic purposes depending on what you are looking for.
If you are looking to make a statement with your radiator, you may want to go for a large vertical floor-to-ceiling style radiator, perhaps in a sleek grey or black.
Alternatively, if you do not want your radiator to be a noticeable feature in a room, it is very easy to find a simple small yet powerful radiator to do the job.
A simple white radiator can be easily concealed by a stylish cover if you would like to keep it out of sight. Covers can come in a variety of different designs so you are sure to find one that goes perfectly with your home.
There is the option of whether or not you want to pick an electric or gas-powered radiator.
Electric radiators are generally a cheaper and much more environmentally-friendly way of heating your home.
Websites like Trade Radiators sell modern style electric radiators that will elevate your home.
Traditional radiators
More commonly found in older homes, traditional radiators can be an excellent statement piece in any room. They tend to be pretty large and robust, which means that they generate a lot of heat.
Large radiators like this work particularly well in older houses as the older houses tend not to be as well insulated as new builds.
Therefore, having a larger radiator allows the heat to be more evenly distributed around a room.
Traditional radiators are generally made to be gas-powered however, there are still plenty of electric options out there.
Traditional radiators do not necessarily have to be in an older or more traditional styled home.
Their versatile styles can look just as good in a more modern home as they would in a more old-fashioned home or non-modern setting.
Traditional radiators can come in both horizontal and vertical designs and a huge range of colours so it’s pretty easy to find one that suits your style perfectly.
The design for traditional radiators even extends to the valves that you have attached to them. Whether you want to go for brass, gold, or silver is up to you.
These tiny additions can make a massive impact on the overall appearance of your radiator and it can be the difference between a sleek look and a rustic look.
Regardless of whether you prefer modern or traditional styles, it is worthwhile to put some thought into your radiator when designing a room.
They can be an excellent way to transform the feel of any room, quite literally.
