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.

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.
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.

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
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
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.
17. Cosy Country
From contemporary to country, @thecheshiregreyhome has chosen a charming column Windsor to enhance the modern country furniture and styling and create more of a feature out of the beautiful bay window.
Radiator: Milano Windsor – White Traditional Horizontal Triple Column Radiator – Choice of Size and Feet
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.

23. Rainbow Retro
Shona @honeyjoyhome styled up her living space and injected her love of colour, retro finds and playful interiors. This living room is already so full of joy and character, so it needed a radiator to hold its own and the vertical Windsor certainly does if you ask us!

28. Luxe Glam
Content creator and luxury interior queen Rosie @home_sweet_home_46 keeps her gorgeous, glam living room warm with our stylish Milano Alpha white designer radiator. A basic old rad just wouldn’t do, don’t you agree?
Radiator: Milano Alpha – White Horizontal Designer Radiator – Various Sizes
31. Neutral Feelings
We love the combination of the calm colour scheme and the chunky white Windsor columns in this soothing neutral living space at @houseno146_. The vertical design also works so well for this room by utilising the narrow wall and saving space for the stylish minimal sofa.

Norwegian stylist and creative Hege @hegeinfrance, places focus on the clean lines of the furniture and the flat panel designer radiator to create a contemporary, minimal living room straight out of a Nordic design magazine.

35. Column Details
Your radiator should stand out for all the right reasons and this gorgeous Windsor at @the_bellegrove_bubble certainly does! We love the contrast of the white columns on the dark blue wall to highlight the traditional details and create a beautiful feature of its own.

38. Cosy Coordination
If you want to keep your colour scheme minimal and coordinated, match the finish of your radiator to a key piece of furniture like @greenwichterrace have done with their anthracite Windsor and cosy grey sofa.

“So glad way back when when we ordered radiators for the house we got anthracite for the lounge. A white rad just wouldn’t work here!” @thelittlebluevictorian
Could not agree more! The deep anthracite works so well against the beautiful soft watercolour backdrop.

52. Country Style Scandi
“I would say our home is a mixture of country style and scandi. I have taken the things I like the most from each style. As we are in a Victorian house, we wanted original style radiators. The white Milano Windsor ones are superb. They hold the heat really well and aren’t as heavy as the cast iron ones.” @renovating.no.66

61. Pretty Pastels
There’s something so charming about Leanne’s pretty pastel armchair, natural wooden accents and cosy Windsor columns over at @makingmy_home. The vertical design works so well to utilise the small alcove and provides plenty of heat with the tall triple columns.

65. Luxury Living
@renovation_corner are all about grand, bold designs and using statement features to add drama and interest to every corner of the space. So what better heating option than a striking black vertical radiator?
68. Vibrant Velvet
The rich, vibrant colour scheme, luxurious velvet textures and chunky column radiator highlight the original beauty of this period property so perfectly.
“We wanted the design in this room to reflect the fact that it’s a period property and accentuate all the beautiful and detailed cornicing, architraves and skirtings. So, we knew we needed a traditional column style radiator for this space.”@freshstart_living
