Radiators, can't live without them, can't live with those clunky hunks of hissing heat. Fortunately, some inventive people have found new ways to disguise your winter hardware.
And thanks to reader Jeroen Wesselink who sent in the above example of re-purposing an old radiator into a chair. Check out the making of video here.

picture #1 is amazing providing you don't burn your tush off!
#2 and #3 are very nice also. it's about time these ugly necessities got a makeover!
Some of these photos show radiators very much in use.
So... I keep my radiator turned down as low as possible, but how much space do I need to leave between my radiator and furniture, like a wood table with a tv on it, or between the radiator and the litterbox, or a plant.
My company BattyBuilt specializes in designing and building custom radiator covers to suit any style, any room. We serve Westchester NY, Manhattan and Connecticut.
