Most of us hide radiators, especially in the warm season. Don’t want to hide your radiator? It’s a good idea to embrace it and use the space over it as much as possible as this way you’ll reduce the heat loss that happens when you have screens and covers.
A top of a radiator can be the perfect place for a shelf. When a piece of wood or stone is placed on top, a bulky radiator becomes a handy side , console table or bookshelf. Besides, if you paint the radiator the same color as the wall behind it, it will merge with it easily leaving just the stained shelf stand out. If you’re using wood for the shelf, just be aware that it might warp over time.
