Wooden Radiator Covers Make Old Look Like New

If you have old unsightly radiator covers, you are probably looking for a way to dress them up a bit. What better way than to use wooden radiator covers to help them blend with the other furniture in your room? Best of all, these covers can provide a bit of safety for little ones, since you won’t have to worry about them bumping their heads on the corners or being burned while touching them.

In cases of very long radiators, you can make them functional as well as stylish by turning them into a bench. Simply add a cushioned top to the radiator cover, and you can use it as additional seating whenever you have company over.

A radiator cover can also be used to increase your storage. That’s because some of them have shelves on either side of them that can be used for books, what knots, DVDs or a number of other things. When paired with a cover that appears to have doors on the front of it, these shelves will help give the appearance of a freestanding bookshelf or cabinet rather than an unsightly radiator.

If your radiator is in an especially awkward spot, take advantage of the versatility of wooden covers to create a makeshift entertainment center for your living room. Create a shelf over the top of your radiator for placing a television on, and then build shelves next to it for holding game systems, DVD players or other items on.

Use a radiator cover to turn this otherwise unsightly object into the focal point for your room. Do this by choosing a cover that somewhat resembles a fireplace grate, and then hanging a beautiful framed print or mirror over the top of it. Your radiator cover could also contain unique artwork on it as well.

Add a bit of nostalgia to your room by having your radiator cover designed to resemble an old-fashioned Victoria or bathroom cabinet. It could even come complete with a faux marble countertop or glass knobs to further enhance the look of it.
