Love the horizontal panelling at the bottom! Is it custom made, or available somewhere? Any info would be great!

MDF and softwood is fine. Ideally mdf should be edged or treated with shellac to prevent fluffy finish. However, the look is in the considered detail. There are several things you need to note on the one you like which will make all the difference to a good design. 1. The increased thickness of the shelves and cabinet uprights. 2. The door frame thickness should be in ratio to its width otherwise it will look too meagre 3. The inset moulding will be better as a belechion moulding to prevent visible cracking in the paintwork on the softwood. ( sometimes used with fielded panels ) 4 Where possible it is better to use the existing skirting detail as the kick-plate all around the design to meet up with the existing skirting 5. In this design 'laid on' doors would give an inferior look to inset doors with hinge butts. Unfortunately the doors have to be square and plumb for this to work ,which may challenge some carpenters. 6. The handles should suit the design and should not be placed at the top of the door . 7. The correct crown moulding and working top edging, although not immediately noticeable will make all the difference.

Ideas on how to cover a radiator fitted below a window seat
Q

Thanks. The seat is 50cms deep and was originally designed by an architect to be a window seat. It still has the same solid support for the first 40cms depth, I've just removed the original decorative panel and replaced it with a very thin radiator. The old wooden front panel and supports would probably still have fitted back in place but I disliked it and threw it out, and it wouldn't have been easy to perforate. I'd been trying to avoid a metal screen, as I can imagine it will clang a bit if someone's sitting on the seat and swinging their legs. But it's a good idea apart from that. My current thought is to have a fixed panel in the middle and some hinged doors at each end of the radiator (for access) ,with the MDF attached to the front edge of the seat rather than fitted underneath. I'll go and take a look at those metal sheets thought :)

I’ve seen similar panelling strips at B&Q and other diy establishments. They are usually displayed in cubby holes lying flat, so you only see the end shape, if that makes sense!
