Radiator Tricks For Compact Spaces

As radiator designs become more modern, more of us can use them as a way of heating our homes, whilst also injecting an extra bit of style. And with so many models on the market, there is a product to suit all spaces and aesthetics – whether you need to heat a large room, or you need a compact radiator to fit into a small space, which we will look at in more detail below. Read on to find out more about the perfect radiators for compact spaces. 

Choosing a radiator for a small space 

No matter the size of your room, you’re going to want to feel the warmth of your radiators so you can create a warm and cosy environment in the colder months. If you are working with a particularly small room, like a bathroom or corridor, you’ll need to choose a radiator that can fit a small space. Thankfully, modern radiators have progressed from their plain, white counterparts that are present within every home, into more stylish designs to suit all homes and spaces. You can even choose from designer radiators if you’d like to add that extra bit of elegance to your home. There is a radiator for everyone, no matter the aesthetic. Read on as we take a look at radiator tricks for smaller, more compact spaces that you can take advantage of.  

Vertical radiator for narrow spaces 

These radiators are commonly featured in many modern homes. Choosing a vertical radiator could be perfect for your small room if you are lacking in horizontal wall space that you would need with a traditional column radiator. Vertical radiators are placed upright on your wall, so they take up vertical space. You can choose from a range of designs, styles, and finishes to suit your aesthetic – whether you’d like a coloured radiator to make an eye-catching statement, or a shiny, chrome-finished radiator as a chic centrepiece. They are perfect if you only have a small area of space, you can choose a height and width that suits you perfectly. 

Column radiators of all sizes 

On the other hand, if you have very little vertical space – maybe if you have shelving or artwork on the walls – a horizontal column radiator could be the best choice for you. And don’t think because it’s your average column that it is going to be old and traditional looking! Modern column radiators come in a variety of widths and heights, which makes them perfect for fitting under windowsills, even if you don’t have much room to work with. You can buy small, short horizontal radiators that would be perfect for a hallway, or cloakroom. And like a vertical radiator, you can still make a statement with various colours and finishes to choose from.  

Double panel radiators 

If you’re looking for a radiator that is small, slim and can heat your space effectively, a double-panel radiator may be the choice for you. These double-panel radiators work efficiently as a front and back panel with two convector fins emit heat and help it to circulate the room. This works well if you are low on space to fit a radiator. You can choose from a huge range of sizes, and even a slimline range so that even if you don’t have a lot of room to work with, you can still benefit from a warm and cosy atmosphere. 

Flat radiators 

These radiator models work well in small spaces. You can choose from a range of designs that are flatter than your usual model so that you can save all-important space. They could work well in a corridor, with people coming and going or in a small bathroom where you need to save as much space as you can! They are slim, but they don’t compromise on style or output. Choose from your favourite colour, whether that’s bright and bold or metallic finish for a sleek style.
