There are some great ideas featured and DIY stores are full of shoppers looking for inspiration that will make their home a little more special.

People who live in a cold country know how important the central heating system is for a house. It has to be checked annually and run efficiently to do its job properly. It used to be that radiators were practical and plain looking objects with their only intention to keep your house warm and cosy during the cold winter months. Generally you would find them tucked away behind the sofa avoiding attention.

With the arrival of designer radiators that has now changed. Nowadays a radiator can be an essential addition to any home. Adding a designer radiator will provide a room character and add personality that just can’t be ignored.

Before choosing any particular type of radiator it is advisable to consider the size and shape of the room it is to be fitted into, and the style of your house. A traditional house built in a certain era with period features might not suit well with a contemporary model. If your house recently been built and has a modern outlook then a designer radiator can enhance the effect further with a refined look.

Designer radiators can be custom made to harmonise with your house at an affordable price. It will be totally unique and can be chosen as a feature that will become a talking point with guests, or be placed very discreetly in the background. Choosing a suitable designer radiator can add your house character and make your home design stand out from all others.

Victorian radiators are a popular model and can blend into all kinds of period settings whilst still offering warmth and comfort, whilst stainless steel radiators provide a very modern contemporary look to a newly built home and are quite elegant. For those with limited space you might consider a tall vertical radiator or flat panel radiators, and then there are the radiators that function as a mirror or a towel rail at the same time. Mirrored radiators will save you both space and money. There are some very distinctive and innovative designs to be found and the prices are not too expensive.

A designer radiator can even increase the value of your home; to a prospective buyer any unique feature is a source of admiration and a unique selling point, similar to having a real fire and wooden flooring. Designs are such that they can even be a piece of artwork that can be displayed in a prominent position on your wall. If you decide on a radiator made from stainless steel or aluminium, they are well known conductors of heat and increase the efficiency of the radiators, particularly if you compare them to traditional cast-iron radiators.

If you can’t see anything you like then it is possible to get an exclusive radiator design made especially for you. You can choose the type of material yourself, and get it made to fit into a particular space perfectly. Radiators can fit into all kinds of spaces due to the wide ranges available. Choose a decorative piece like an antique cast iron radiator for the main wall, a long vertical radiator will suit well on high-ceilinged halls, or pick a radiator that doubles as a towel rail for the bathroom.
