Radiators As Furniture
A radiator can be not only covered but also turned into a furniture piece. the first idea is to make a console or coffee table of it, so you can cover it with some screen and then add a countertop. Keep in mind that the thicker the screen is, the more heat losses you will have. Now you can place anything you like on the console – books, decor, dried flowers but keep real plants away as the table can get too hot. A storage unit is another piece, in which you can turn your radiator. Make it look like a creadenza or a sideboard with doors, these doors can be regular ones with some screens like cane ones. Add open shelving on both or one side and voila! The third solution is a daybed or a seat, with a cushion and some pillows. Such an idea will be great for cold climates as sitting on this piece you won’t need any additional warming up. You can also figure out some other furniture pieces you may want and need or turn a radiator into a large windowsill daybed with storage.
