75
The living room is your cosy space to relax and unwind with your favourite people, so a radiator that keeps the room warm and inviting is a must.
But, since our living room radiators are on show and we spend a lot of time looking at them, why not turn them into features that complement your home decor and add character, not stand out for all the wrong reasons?
We’ve collated 75 beautiful living room ideas from our customers to help you decide which radiator design and placement will work for your living space.
1. Vibrant Vintage
First up is Steph aka. @scousebirdshouse, Steph has livened up her lounge, showcased her eclectic style and created a beautiful living room beaming with personality!
We love the use of colour to brighten up the classic features and bring a modern vibe to this vibrant, vintage inspired scheme.
The traditional Milano Windsor white column radiator works so well to complement the old meets new feel and bring its own character into such a striking space.
Radiator: Milano Windsor – White Traditional Horizontal Triple Column Radiator
2. Modern Minimal
Next up, Sarah and her doggo are loving the beauty of calm, minimal interiors inspired by tastefully simple Scandinavian homes over at the @the_chapel_conversion.
The clean lines and anthracite finish of the Milano Capri designer radiator is the perfect match for this modern, monochrome living room.
Radiator: Milano Capri – Anthracite Flat Panel Horizontal Designer Radiator
3. Cosy Boho
We are living for the cosy boho feels that Alysa’s living room is giving us over at @hoppshouse. The vertical Milano Windsor column radiator fits perfectly in the corner of the room and utilizes the height of the wall instead of the width to create extra space for the gorgeous velvet sofa and still provide plenty of heat.
Radiator: Milano Windsor – White Traditional Vertical Triple Column Radiator
4. Botanical Beauty
Gemma has breathed life into her living room with beautiful plants and scandi style textures to add interest and comfort at @inthedoghouse___.
The chunky columns of the Milano Windsor radiator complement the rustic decor and the low level design makes clever use of space under the window to maximise heat without taking over the room.
Placing a radiator under a window can also improve heat conduction to help get the room cosy and warm in no time.
5. Shelfie Goals
Low level radiators are not only great for squeezing into small spaces, they can also become part of your home decor. Laura has styled the ultimate shelfie over her cute low level radiator at @the_indigo_house and the column design looks so good with the scandi boho details. A dusty old radiator just wouldn’t cut it.
6. Modern Neutral
Emily @whitehouse_approved has approved our Milano Aruba designer radiators are pretty enough for her elegant, neutral home and we love how the light bounces off the modern oval shaped panels under her beautiful window display.
Radiator: Milano Aruba – White Horizontal Designer Radiator 400mm x 1411mm (Double Panel)
7. Elegant Electric
Tori’s living room is really giving us the old house, new home vibe with her electric Milano Windsor.
“We didn’t install gas central heating in the flat – one reason was cost but also we saved a huge amount of space not having to install a big tank in the only cupboard. The little water heater does the trick and the column radiators look the business compared to what you’d normally think of with electric radiators!”
Electric Windsors combine the classic column with modern technology to help heat your home more efficiently, but still provide the period style look.
Thinking about going electric? More info right here.
8. Mid Century Modern
Hollie @homebird15 has created a cosy corner in her living room that exudes mid century modern. The clean lines of the contemporary vertical radiator emulates the focus of form and function that this interior movement is all about and the anthracite finish is perfect for the calm grey colour scheme.
Radiator: Milano Alpha – Anthracite Vertical Designer Radiator
9. Cuppa Corner
From one cosy corner to another, Kasia @atnumber_34 has designed the ultimate snuggle spot with a squishy sofa and vertical column radiator to keep the temperature just right and complement the contemporary country decor. Fancy a cuppa?
Radiator: Milano Windsor – White Traditional Vertical Triple Column Radiator
10. Speakeasy Sophistication
The warm mood lighting, rich dark colour scheme and sumptuous leather seating, Elle @ellelaumor has recreated the sophistication and luxury evocative of secret cocktail bars and elegant London hotels in her fine living room.
Only the pairing of an authentic cast iron radiator would be up to par for this glamorous, yet understated living space. Pour yourself a drink because this cosy corner will remain warm for hours after the heating has been turned off!
Radiator: Milano Alice – Classic Cast Iron Column Radiator – 660mm Tall – Antique Brass
11. Open Plan Living
Out of the darkness and into the light, Kerry @renovation_44 has extended her home and designed her dream open plan living room. We love how the natural light floods the space and the vertical Milano radiator provides plenty of heat to keep this large room feel warm and inviting.
12. Stylish Symmetry
Natalie and Craig @our_montreux_home have got us seeing double in their gorgeous grey living room. We love how the slim, vertical designer radiators have become an impressive focal feature and they work together to keep this luxurious living space the perfect temperature for total relaxation. Let’s take a look at a couple more designer duos.
Radiator: Milano Alpha – Anthracite Vertical Designer Radiator
13. Windsor Walkway
DIY pro Debbie has framed the entrance to her living room with two tall Windsor column radiators over at @fixingupfarnley. We love the drama that the pair add to the space and they draw the eye for all the right reasons.
Radiator: Milano Windsor – Anthracite 1800mm Traditional Vertical Triple Column Radiator
14. Grey All Day
We love how @talbalanza has made use of the narrow wall space beside the beautiful bay window for a pair of contemporary vertical designer radiators to complement the minimal decor and neutral grey colour scheme.
Radiator: Milano Alpha – Anthracite Vertical Designer Radiator
15. Georgian Luxury
Living rooms don’t get much more grand than Greg’s exquisite Georgian property. Greg aka. @manwithahammer chose our anthracite Milano Windsor column radiators to enhance the ornate, original features of the property and free up space for fabulous furniture.
“They look extraordinary against the panelling on the windows (and the location actually means I can have some furniture in the room too as otherwise almost every wall was occupied with a radiator!).”
Radiator: Milano Windsor – Anthracite 600mm Traditional Horizontal Triple Column Radiator
16. Modern Luxury
Light, bright, clean and contemporary, @the_kenworths_1930snest know how to transform a space into an impressive, modern living room. We love the choice of the anthracite vertical radiator to complement the monochrome colour scheme and stand alone as a striking feature.

19. Copper Queen
Onto another metallic beauty, @houseglowup have got a beautiful colour combination going on with their royal blue backdrop and glistening copper columns. The fluffy friend seems to approve too!
20. Country Corner
Over at @clatterpothouse, Donna decided to make use of the narrow wall space next to the sofa with a tall column radiator. The vertical triple columns provide plenty of heat for the size of the living room, whereas a horizontal radiator of the same size would trap most of the heat behind the sofa! If space is restricted, always go vertical.
Radiator: Milano Windsor – White Traditional Vertical Triple Column Radiator – Choice of Size and Feet
21. Rustic Raw Metal
For another clever use of space, @claire.totman.designs has gone for a low level column Windsor radiator to fit nice and snug under the lovely big window. The rustic raw metal finish and the vintage style valves complete the look and complement the beautiful original features of the property.
22. The Perfect Fit
If space is even more restricted but you have a narrow gap that you want to make use of not waste like @behind.the.turquoise.door, our vertical designer radiators can be easily turned on the side and installed as a low level radiator to fit just where you need. Nice and warm little guy?

23. Rainbow Retro

But instead of the classic white finish, they have gone for a metallic bronze look to complement the warm wooden furniture and accent features.
Radiator: Milano Windsor – Metallic Bronze Horizontal Traditional Triple Column Radiator
38. Cosy Coordination
