Turn up the style on your radiators

Radiators don’t always need to blend into the background, why not make them a stylish feature in your room ?

Elegant color blocking    

Create a modern and stylish living room by painting your radiator in a dark tone to match the walls. Choosing grey will give the room a sophisticated look and the matching radiator will add extra style. Try complementing the walls with a soft purple chair and keep the flooring light to balance the look. Finish with soft throws and accessories in muted tones for an elegant and relaxed space.

If you’re looking for a bright and airy feel, try painting the walls and radiator a brilliant white. This creates a clean finish and as the walls reflect the light, the space flows tastefully. White gives you a perfect backdrop to show off beautiful furniture, so it’s time to arrange your favorite chair in prime position. Complete the tasteful look with soft pink throws and small pot plants that will frame the window.

If you’re looking to add a touch of color to a minimalist white room, try painting the radiator an uplifting color. A light blue grey livens up the space and creates a point of interest in the room and frames the window. Try de-cluttering and using a refined color palate to maximize the impact. To finish, a simple wooden chair and floor in a muted tone gives the space a Scandinavian feel.
