Choosing new radiators for a stylish home can sometimes become quite a conundrum. They sometimes evade notice until the more obvious items of furniture have been researched and decided upon and as a result they can often suffer from hasty decision making.
It’s a common misconception that radiators and towel rails are still designed only for practicality rather than with style and substance in mind. But some new designers are taking modern radiators from being, what was once considered a classic necessity and turning it into a stylistic “must have” for any contemporary home.
From its humble beginnings as a universally shaped piece of standard furniture, the radiator is now giving home designers a new medium for creative control. These new styles are constantly inspiring and opening up new areas of design, including a large array of shapes and materials as well as colour and finish which can range from shining chrome to matt black or silver.
Shapes and sizes have also taken on new levels of stylistic expression with some modern radiator designs being made up from various numbers and sizes of interlocking bars in a multitude of interesting shapes created by MHS and a smaller cylindrical spiral shape designed by Lazzarini. Whereas for the more minimalist home there are a number of different singular oblong style radiators which can include a mirrored panel for the more spatially aware home owner.
At the far end of the stylistic spectrum there is a new line of luminous radiators with varying patterns of florescent strips located beneath a polished stainless steel surface. These lights can be assembled in multiple vertical strips, a singular vertical strip or even a panel of circular cut outs. This new style of modern radiators is ushering in a new era of creative freedom in what has been previously considered a creatively limited area of the home’s aesthetic value.
Due to the ingenuity and vision of a small number of dedicated designers the world of modern radiators is coming forward into a new era of creative design. With their modernist and minimalistic group of styles MHS and Lazzarini are certainly two companies to watch, as well as the rustic yet surprisingly modern designs of Synergy and Hudson Reed.
By refusing to compromise on style and watching out for the right designers, finding the perfect radiator for your home should no longer be such a daunting time consuming task. In fact some websites specifically target the more aesthetically pleasing and original designs of modern radiators, these are not difficult to find and can be a great resource for the more fashionable makes and designs.
