Everyone loves a warm living room when they come home. Getting cosy on the sofa is easy when you have a reliable radiator that won’t cause any problems.
If you’re in the middle of redecorating and feel it’s time to ditch an unreliable radiator for a new one, we can help, with great value living room radiators for any budget or style.
It all starts with knowing what type of radiator you need.
The Right Type of Radiator for Your Living Room
Most of us like our living rooms to be the best looking room in the house, and that means it needs to have the best radiator in the house.
Things to consider when getting a new radiator in this room include:
- The size of your room
- The positioning of the radiator
- If it will be behind furniture
- If it will be under a window
- If it will be against an exterior wall
You also need to consider the style and décor of the space to ensure the colour you choose doesn’t clash.
What Radiators Work Best in a Small Living Room?
Small living rooms can take plenty of arrangement to get right, and you don’t want your radiator taking up valuable space.
For smaller rooms, we always recommend looking at our compact convector radiators with single panel options. Brands like K-Rad, Stelrad and Quinn provide practical solutions when room size is an issue.
What Radiators Work Best in a Large Living Room?
Bigger living rooms, especially those where you’ve knocked a wall through to the dining room or kitchen, can become pain points for keeping warm if you don’t have a radiator with a good BTU.
Using a BTU calculator, you can see which radiators are best suited for the exact dimensions of a large room.
What Radiators Work Best with a Bay Window?
Bay windows can sometimes cause trouble for radiator installation. Luckily, we have a mini-range of curved bay radiators to solve the problem of tricky angles. In living rooms where the window comes down quite far, a 300mm height radiator may be the best fit.
Otherwise, you’ll want to consider measuring up the space to see if a powerful 500mm radiator will fit in and boost the heat.
What Brands are Known for their Living Room Radiators?
Ultraheat is well-known for their curved radiators that fit well in many living rooms. Stelrad also has a modern design on their flat panel radiators that work well in rooms with lighter tones.
How Can I get a Cheap Living Room Radiator?
Doing up your room on a budget? You don’t have to break the bank to get a new radiator. Our own Trade Direct range has some fantastic column and convector radiators that come with a 15-year guarantee. You can shop the range here.
What Kind of Finish Should I Get on a New Radiator?
Radiators should fit in with the design of the space. Consider the walls and what kind of finish would complement, rather than contrast, the space. If you have a specific colour in mind, we may be able to provide a custom paint finish for you.
