Not every radiator looks cool and stylish and if you don’t like how yours look, this roundup is for you. You can make a pretty cover for your radiator that can not only hide the ugly piece but also become an additional storage space. The traditional materials are MDF or thick cardboard or any other material you like – but remember that it should be inflammable. Add metal sheets as they are easy to handle, inflammable, durable and will make your cover energy-efficient. Put a top on the cover to make a small shelf for extra storage.
