If you don’t like how a radiator looks, you might be tempted to try to hide it behind a sofa or other piece of furniture. This will only stop your radiator from working to its fullest and spreading heat. Doing this could also make your room’s thermostat think that the room is at the right temperature, which would cause it to turn off, which would be useless.
You also shouldn’t put a radiator cabinet behind a radiator. This may seem like a good idea, but in the end, it will keep a lot of heat out, which will cost you more money and give you less heat.
There are many sleek and modern radiators on the market today, so if you don’t like the one you’re looking at, keep looking until you find a style that works for your space.
